Abstract :
The cesium fountain under development at the NIST Time and Frequency Division contains two identical microwave cavities, one used for state selection and the other for Ramsey excitation. These cavities, designed to hold distributed cavity phase shift to a minimum are described and data relevant to the designs of such cavities presented
