Title :
Oscillators to maintain precise time and frequency-an overview
Author_Institution :
NPL, Teddington, UK
Abstract :
Gives a broad indication of the relative stabilities of time and frequency devices available for use in the microwave region, and also their relative susceptibilities to environmental effects. The devices examined include quartz crystal oscillators, the caesium beam standard, the rubidium gas cell, and the hydrogen maser
