Any worthwhile OCXO will need a loop with a time constant on the 
order of hundreds of seconds (a corner frequency on the order of uHz) 
to get the most out of it as a GPSDO.  As has been discussed on the 
list many times, there is simply no practicable way to design an 
analog loop with such a long time constant.  So the person designing 
the PLL must be able to design and build an all-digital PLL, or 
settle for a loop that crosses over to the GPS several decades too 
early (which is certainly not getting the most out of the OCXO).

Best regards,
