A number of you have asked about Allan deviation recently so
I thought I'd share this handy one-page chart that shows both
ADEV and MDEV for the following noise types:

- white phase
- flicker phase
- white frequency
- flicker frequency
- random walk frequency

It's in high resolution PDF format so if it looks blurry on your
screen either zoom by 2x or just print it on a laser printer.
