[time-nuts] 10811 crystal orientation

[SAIDJACK at aol.com]

Very interesting technology!

I would think that the re-transmitter will need a crystal as well for  
carrier generation and GPS reception, and maybe that the data needs to be  
time-stamped so as to know when the data was captured? Several TCXO vendors do  
advertise 10,000g capability on their websites, and I am quite amazed by  
this knowing just how sensitive oscillators usually are..

A  lot of the ballistic GPS systems are actually GPS transponders attached 
to the  back of the shell.  They just retransmit the received GPS signal 
spectrum  to a remote receiver.  Much cheaper and more robust than slinging a 
full  GPS receiver.  Google TIDGET for more info...
