[time-nuts] NCOCXO anyone?

No, the first one merely uses a pair of cascaded heterodyne PLLs as shown on p3 of the manual.A diophantine setup may be useful here if one wished to construct something similar.

H-maser aging is typically compensated by something like
spectratime femto-stepper
http://www.spectratime.com/products/itest/clock-instruments/FemtoStepper/
microsemi AOG
http://www.microsemi.com/products/timing-synchronization-systems/time-frequency-references/active-hydrogen-maser/aog-110
(there are probably others, please post if you know about them!)

afaik they contain a OCXO/BVA that is steered based on a DMTD measurement
against the input reference.
