| ====== Phase/Frequency Measurement Methods ====== |

| //There was a thread about the Tight PLL method on the Time-Nuts mailing list. One useful outcome was this post by Tom Van Baak: |

| Here are a couple of really good articles that describe many methods of phase/frequency measurement, including TPLL.\\ |
| You'll see some nice "advantage/disadvantage" lists in several of these documents, which is why I'm posting the links. |
| |
| Warren & Bruce, please look at the first five documents at least. |
| John too. Lots of TPLL info. This is all worth reading. I don't know why I didn't find some of these papers six months ago. |
