Hi,
Thanks for the answers but I'm still confused.
The Stanford PRS10 has an Allan Variance of 2E-11 but a Symmetricomm unit
has a Allan Deviation of 3E-11.
So according to the answers you gave, the Symmetricomm unit has a stability
thousands of times better than the PRS10.
This, dispite the Symmetricon unit having 25 to 40 dB worse phase phase
noise than the PRS10 (at 1 and 10 Hz offsets).
Surely that's not possible since the PRS10 is pretty good in the first
place.
