   Magnus,
   here the list of the most interesting OCXO  with the phase noise as declared by the companies.

   Oggetto [time-nuts] Good clean-up oscillators
   Fellow time-nuts,

   While we often look at long-term stability, ADEV etc. we consider
   oscillators in their free-running properties. This is all fine and dany,
   but when we want to use an oscillator as a clean-up oscillator, the
   servo-loop with surpress much of the low-frequency/high-tau properties
   and replace that with that of the reference.

   Consider for instance that we have a LPRO rubidium and we want to use a
   clean-up oscillator to provide better phase-noise, what would be a good
   selection?

   While there is plenty of choices, it is a bit different from that which
   is relevant when considering it as a free-running oscillator. The white
   noise which dominated far-out would dominate, and only some of the
   flicker phase becomes relevant.

   I could easily get a OCXO of good quality, but really, what would be
   interesting choices? Have someone measured this enough to get a kind of
   rough idea at least?

   Cheers,
   Magnus
