[time-nuts] New OCXO claims ppb performance.

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

The “ppb” number in this case is the temperature performance. Indeed, that is “pretty close” to 
the temperature performance of the CSAC. Aging is rated at 50 ppb / year. That’s a bit further
out than what a typical CSAC will do. 

In either case, if you let the beast run for a year, it is aging that will dominate the error. Temperature
and voltage affects will be minor on either the CSAC or this OCXO *if* it runs “open loop” for a long
time. On the other hand, if it “phones home” for a sync on a daily basis, aging does not matter much
at all.
