[time-nuts] OCXO Phase Noise Measurement in Primitive Conditions

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi Bob,

Just realized I forgot to mention this...

As you have sawtooth data, one fun way to compare the GPS-OCXO is just 
use the sawtooth data and then let TimeLab do the phase-unwrapping on 
that. This will however not give good characterization of the stability 
of the PPS output, which is the result of the 10 MHz OCXO corrected into 
PPS-time, for that you either need to measure a reference to the OCXO or 
to the PPS.

Cheers,
Magnus
