[time-nuts] OCXO Phase Noise Measurement in Primitive Conditions

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The gotcha of using a telecom  Rb is that it (probably) has a worse ADEV than a good GPSDO out to somewhere in the 100 second range. It also (probably) isn’t going to do much good in the > 20,000 seconds range either. 

Much easier to just build two or three GPSDO’s…. at least then you can compare out to their loop bandwidth.
