Thanks Don
For all the nuts that want the analysis with math and fancy papers on how
(or why) the TPLL works.
They will find the whole thing on one line on page 4-21 of that paper.
(page 110)
That's about it and all that is needed, if one also understands how to do
integration by oversampling or by VtoF.

Another place to find the same thing is on ALLAN's site.
Sorry neither have the long and unreadable fancy papers like some have
posted or wanted
but
Not a whole lot needs to be said about something so simple.
That is really all there is to it, if one starts with Frequency differences,
like the TPLL, and not Phase, like most other methods, to get the raw data
to use with an ADEV program like "PLOTTER".
Note there is no extra S/W processing OR H/W processing or secret anything
needed to be able to do that, because JUST THE BASIC TPLL Block does it all
already.

" Brief Explanation
Allan variance equation:
BTW
All those fancy, long and unreadable (by me) papers, are mostly just trying
to get a good close approximation of the above because they start with phase
and not Freq.
The TPLL does not need no approximate anything to get there, IT is already
there and gives that EXACT thing over the total Tau range, for ANY Osc noise
type and as far as I've seen the ONLY method that does.
The TPLL method is limited by its OXCO controlled (reference) Oscillator
plus the noise of its two main parts, that can be made way below ANY OCXO
noise level.
woops, sorry, I guess some wanted this to remain a "SECRET".
So don't blame me this time, Don and ALLAN are the ones that posted it
and/or said it.
If others want more, It is about time they did something beside complain
about me and what I know or did or did not do.

I just found this while noodling around. Looks very good, probably known
to most of you.

may have to remove the %20?
