A new cesium beam frequency standard performance data

摘要

With the addition of electronics that address power shift, C-field effects, and Rabi pulling, a new cesium standard shows the expected reduction in overall instabilities due to environmental factors and electronics errors. Actual performance data obtained from a number of standards designed incorporating a new architecture are reported. The data substantiates the design theories, plans, and goals to produce a frequency standard whose sensitivity to environmental factors is greatly reduce when compared to existing standards.
