The frequency knob that you tweak to correct the Rb frequency
passes some tens of ma thru a coil surrounding the RF interaction
region. If you try to phase lock a Rb to GPS, you need to develop
a current source error signal.
Hmmm ... can you say more about this current source error signal?
I've been thinking of locking my Rb standard to GPS. I was simply going to
use the same circuit (1 pps, 10 MHz in; analog EFC voltage out) that I have
running with my OXCO but with different filter and EFC DAC coefficients.
So is this not sufficient to phase lock GPS to a Rb standard?
