In the Austron 2110 is a dual D FF Mixer along with circuitry to get 100 Hz out. I did a board using 2 XTAL Filter stages and you can get 1 E-12 using a 100 MHz period counter. Using my previously mentioned Ping Pong counter at 200 MHz and Offset of 1 Hz at 5 MHz you get 1 Hz out. Resolution is 1 E-15, there is some jitter and quite a bit of AV. Presently we use a PTS 40 to generate the offset but it will be replaced by an AD9913 DDS. Schmitt trigger jitter is not a problem since the ping pong counter functions like time stamp and with two synchronizing stages does not miss a single count. The 2 by 2.5 inch board with out any other additions allows you also to do AV measurements as long as one of the inputs is offset by 1 or 10 Hz. The DDS is a piggy back board and only is needed if you want to measure frequency at high resolution. For AV the board does every thing. We plan on using it for long term monitoring using 5/10 Hz out and average at least 10 counts. Resolution 1 E-14. Data will be recorded on a USB stick. Key components are a MAX 3000 32 macro G/A two 16F633 PIC's and one 16F688 PIC output is RS 232. Basically the same board Corby now uses with a few more functions in the G/A.

Can you explain in more detail how you can reach 1e-15 in 1 second with those offset frequencies? Can you give the input frequencies, the IC type, and how you measure the output?
