Space-Very Long Baseline Interferometry Mission Requirements Analysis on Space Borne Frequency Standards and Optical Frequency Combs

摘要

Low phase noise microwave frequency generation with low power and miniaturized optical frequency comb may greatly impact future space-based Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) missions. In this paper, we will show our analysis of the frequency and timing requirements on frequency standards and optical frequency combs for the future space mission.
