TCXO Frequency Calibration
Availability of a Frequency counter with the following specification is necessary.
Range: 100Hz-300MHz
Uncertainty: <1x 10 -7 at (23 ± 3) °C / per year
Resolution: 10 digits, max. 0,1mHz
e.g. Fluke PM6685/-5- with OCXO
This TCXO calibration correction value is used for exact calculation of distances. It is not a correction
of the frequency. The transmitted frequency will not be changed.
