You might, depending upon the audience, point out the advantages of heterodyne in the comparison of two RF signals. This, as you know, relieves the burden of precision on the measurement equipment by the heterodyne ratio. Mike

Most of the stuff is pretty clear (and the rest can be easily looked up in Rubiolas book, various app notes and papers). But I would like to make sure I did not forget anything important. The types of stability measures we have are: * deviations * Allan deviation * modified Allan deviation * time deviation * Hadamard deviation * noise spectrum * single sided power spectral density * jitter * cycle-to-cycle jitter * period jitter * time interval error Are there any other measures? Or anything important I should make sure to mention? Also, if someone has a presentation where I could steal some stuff from, I would appreciate that as well.
