[time-nuts] Linear Interpolator

Hi,

So you suggest, I take the 10MHz output of my OCXO lock that to a stable
VCXO (say 64MHz as not to be a harmonic multiple of 10MHz) and then clock my
FPGA with the resultant output. Wouldn't I loose the advantage of the
dithering effect? I guess if I have a 1ns resolution interpolator, no
dithering is needed? Is the idea to have a sort of a loop within a loop -
the FPGA follows the OCXO which follows the 1PPS?

Regards,

Stephan.
