  • Abstract
    Expressions for the averaged two-sample variance as well as expressions for the uncertainty on its estimation are given, in cases where dead time is present between measurements. The effect of this dead time on the precision of the time domain measure of frequency stability, in the presence of a limited number of data, is specified. The possibility to distinguish between white and flicker noises is pointed out.
