Oscillator Phase Drift
The chart below provides typical stability performance for the oscillator types that can be
found in VelaSync units. These numbers are based on the oscillator being locked to a ref-
erence for two weeks, but then loses GPS reception for an extended period of time, while
the ambient temperature remains stable.
This data can help you determine how long of a Holdover period can be tolerated, based on
how much time drift may occur after GPS input is lost. The larger the time error that can be
tolerated by VelaSync clients, based on the oscillator installed, the larger the Holdover
timeout period can be set to.
