Oscillator Options en

The document compares the specifications of different oscillator options - TCXO, OCXO, and Rubidium - available for Meinberg GPS receivers and time servers. TCXO has the lowest short-term stability and long-term accuracy, while Rubidium has the highest short-term stability and long-term accuracy. OCXO options have performance between TCXO and Rubidium. The document provides detailed technical specifications on factors like phase noise, frequency accuracy over time, temperature dependence, and time accuracy in various time periods for each oscillator option.

Note 1: The accuracy in Hertz is based on the standard frequency of 10 MHz.


For example: Accuracy of TCXO (free run one day) is ±1·10-7·10MHz = ± 1 HZ
The given values for the accuracy of frequency and time (not short term accuracy) are only valid for a constant ambient temperature!
A minimum time of 24 hours of GPS-syncronicity is required before free run starts.
