I was looking through my files and found a 1965 NASA publication that
contains the papers presented at a 1964 IEEE-NASA symposium on the
short-term stability of oscillators.  It's a wonderful collection of
seminal papers by most of the usual suspects of the era (see attached
table of contents).

I posted it to Didier's site.  It's still in quarantine, but will be
searchable when Didier moves it into the general population (which could
take several weeks).  The file name is:

"Short-Term Frequency Stability IEEE-NASA symposium NASA SP-80 1965"

I also posted six files pertaining to Diophantine frequency synthesis on
Didier's site.  Four are papers dating to 2006-2007 by Sotiriadis, one
is a paper of the same era by Stork, and one is a patent granted to
Wilke in 1993.

These are also still in quarantine, but will be searchable when Didier
moves them into the general population (which could take several weeks).
"Diophantine" will be a good search term.

Finally for today, I posted two white papers from PTF, Inc. that discuss
the basics of GPSDO design.  These are the best accessible discussions
of "how it's done" at the professional level that I'm aware of, and
(IMO) should be required reading for anyone attempting a DIY GPSDO design.

Note that some of the ADEV graphs show the use of local oscillators that
are less stable at short tau than most time-nuts would use, so the
corresponding crossover frequencies are lower (PLL bandwidths are
higher) than would be appropriate for a time-nuts grade GPSDO by a
factor of ~10.

The file names are:

   Basics_of_GPS_discipline_PTF_AN_APP-29
   Optimizing_stability_in_GPSDO_design_PTF

(Didier's system will convert the underscore characters to spaces for
indexing.)

Once again, these are still in quarantine, but will be searchable when
Didier moves them into the general population (which could take several
weeks).

When that happens, "PTF" will be a good search term.

Best regards,

Charles
