Hi Charles,

How do you lock your OCXO to the PRS10?

Thanks,

I've lost track now of who it was, but someone asked if there was a
better strategy than a GPS disciplined quartz oscillator or a GPS
disciplined rubidium.  My best standard uses an SRS PRS10 rubidium
disciplined by GPS PPS at tau = VERY long (> ~12 hours), using the
PRS10's internal PPS locking.  The rubidium, in turn, disciplines my
best OCXO at tau >300 seconds.  So, for tau less than ~300 seconds the
stability is determined by the OCXO; for tau greater than ~300 seconds
and less than ~12 hours, the stability is determined by the rubidium;
and for tau > ~12 hours, the stability is determined by GPS.  I have
found that this works very well.

Note that the PRS10's digital PPS PLL has a bewildering array of
adjustable parameters.  One can easily get lost exploring different
combinations.  My advice is to keep it as simple as possible.

Best regards,

Charles
