Hi
The stability profile of the GPS timing signal changed significantly when SA was turned off.
Things like sawtooth correction that didnât make much difference in the 1990âs now did
make a difference. Time constants and OCXO parameters that made sense âbeforeâ didnât
make sense âafterâ.
More or less: When you make profound changes in the GPS timing signal, the best approach
to accurately recovering that signal has to change to match the new signal. Does everybody
change everything the next day? Of course not. It takes a while for folks to work out whatâs
what with the ânew rulesâ.
