[time-nuts] GPS message jitter (preliminary results)

[Mark Sims]

Most definitely... if I turn on Lady Hather's display filter (which does a sliding average of "n" readings)  the standard deviation and jitter values drop dramatically.   With a 60 second filter the deviation was down to around .15 msecs and the peak-peak jitter below a millisecond.  Average and rms values of the jitter was 2.4 microseconds.  I saw similar improvements with the cheap NMEA receivers.
