Abstract :
In this paper we show that the measurement of one Ramsey pattern permit us to estimate the microwave (MW) power very precisely, to calculate some of the effects that influence the accuracy of the standard without using the time of flight (TOF) distribution and to evaluate the TOF distribution very simply.
