[time-nuts] OT: leaching was, Alternative time interval interpolation technique

Hi

Single cycle jitter is a bit confusing when you talk about bandwidths of 5Hz
to 20 MHz off a carrier. Since phase noise at 5 Hz does contribute to jitter
over that bandwidth, an OCXO (with good phase noise close in) would be
needed.

Apropos Wenzel: Is there any distributor that sells them in
single quantities? Or do i have to get them from Wenzel directly?
And is there any price list available?

Why an OXCO? AFAIK the temperature has only an effect on long term
stability/drift, but doesn't affect short term effects (which cause
the jitters). Or am i missing something?
