Thank you.

I quickly read the gpsd howto and it explains what I want to do using kpps on a raspberry. From there I can see a typical accuracy of 1uS, but the informations of the live graphs page are precise down to the ns: are these averaged?

What do you intend for granularity? Consider that I'm a newbie in frequency/time specific terms.

Regards,
Ilia.

You should check out the gpsd time howto, and ntpsec.

http://www.catb.org/gpsd/gpsd-time-service-howto.html

https://www.ntpsec.org

I need to know how much precise this system can be. How
much resolution can I obtain with a cheap receiver (maximum
quantization frequency)?
On average, on a RasPi 3, you can expect about

Formulas are well accepted.

How about a graph, or two?  See attached.  From the histogram, I suspect the
granularity is about 200 nano sec.  From the offset graph you can
see how the offset jumps.

Here is the offset data on PPS v. the system clock:

     Min                1%      5%      50%     95%     99%     Max
     -21.645    -2.587  -0.834  -0.020  0.991   0.991   13.557 µs
