GPS Synchronized Disciplined Rubidium Frequency Standard

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA521002 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A disciplined rubidium frequency standard steered by the corrected 1 PPS output from a GPS timing receiver or other stable 1 PPS source can provide a low phase noise, modest cost, frequency standard with long term frequency stability of a cesium standard and short term stability of better than 1 x 10-11. Phase correlation to the 1 PPS input is maintained to within 50 nanoseconds during disciplining and within 100 nanoseconds during a five hour coasting period with no disciplining input.
