Re: [time-nuts] Need for a document comparing time interval counters
Sun, Nov 20, 2016 2:23 PM
The newer counters (I would toss the CNT-90 into the batch) have various tricks in them to improve frequency estimation. The older stuff simply did not have the horsepower to do some of this. Time wise some of the older counters did pretty well. So, is a 53132 worth more than a 5335? Sure it is. Is a 53230 worth more than a 53132? Yes.

Re: [time-nuts] The USFS Frequency Standard...

They all work and all have tolerance estimates on them. On a global basis you need to trace back to UTC and BIH. It’s the same idea only one level higher. Bob > On Feb 10, 2017, at 3:47 PM, Burt I.

Re: [time-nuts] Frequency counter questions

Actually you can do better given the excess computer power you have: You can output a frequency estimate after the first send and then each second you can output a more accurate value until finally after 4,000 seconds out have 0.001 Hz.

Re: [time-nuts] HP10811 Oscillator Thermal Fuse
Thu, May 11, 2017 11:28 PM
Of those, the majority 3,721 resulted in the 10811 being tossed in the garbage as “another junker”……(yes, those are estimates, but I’d bet they are close based on the number of 10811’s made and how flakey those fuses are). Bob > On May 11, 2017, at 7:04 PM, Donald E.

Re: [time-nuts] GPS discipline oscillator vs phase lock

It lets you better estimate cycle slips and other odd occurrences. Bob > On Jun 17, 2017, at 1:55 AM, Lifespeed wrote: > > Not too surprising to read locking two crystal oscillators together without using a physical cable is difficult to impossible.

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather V6.0 and RINEX files...

My guess is that it's because I'm in Australia and CSRS don't have as much data as they do in North America for estimating ionosphere. There is a dense local CORS network but access is not free. The other thing I tried was using the receivers in base-rover configuration with various CORS stations out to 100 km and this worked very well.

Re: [time-nuts] Frequency Ensemble
Mon, Mar 18, 2019 7:37 PM
In theory (though I can in no way prove it yet) you should be able to reduce the timing errors associated with the broadcast clock and orbit estimates by about an order of magnitude. It is *abundantly* unclear what that translates into in nanoseconds due to a whole lot of layers everything goes through…..

GPSDO warm Up Stability measurement
Wed, Oct 21, 2020 3:40 PM
If we estimate that section as 2 minutes, one cycle over 120s is 0.8 ppb and is about the most extreme excursion experienced on this GPSDO, and typical of other observations using higher frequencies.

Re: [time-nuts] Frequency Counter Choice
Thu, Oct 22, 2020 2:55 PM
The 5371A and 5372A actually can do linear regression processing for frequency estimation, a historic note that predates this capability of the Philips/Fluke/Pendulum counters to the best of my knowledge. PS. I also have a 5370C, which is a flat-bed scanner from HP. Cheers, Magnus On 2020-10-22 15:33, Tom Van Baak wrote: > Avoid the 53181A; too limited.
