Abstract :
Thanks to its good trade-off between reliability, mass, performance and cost, the Rubidium clock technology is often selected for various missions as navigation, astrophysical cartography, scientific measurement or secure communication. The typical mass of such device is between 1 and 5 kg for a frequency stability below 1×10-13 over several hours including environmental effects.
