For some time now I have been planning a GPSDO based on a M12+T and an
Oscilloquartz 8663 double OCXO. I have been following the discussions
on Sawtooth Correction, but wonder if there is another approach which
will remove the problem.
It is based on the assumption that the sawtooth correction message is
in effect a measure of the phase error between the
16.368MHz TCXO in the M12 and the incoming code rate from the
satellite. The idea is to remove the onboard TCXO and replace it by a
16.368MHz clock synthesysed from the OCXO, using a clock generator such
as the TI CDCE913. The Sawtooth Corection Message would then be used to
control the 10MHz OCXO. If this were to work it may lead to an improved
10Mhz stability as well as removing the need for sawtooth correction if
the 1pps output is used. What do you think?
