Abstract
The Rubidium atomic frequency standard is at present the basic clock technology for the Chinese Compass Navigation payload. What´s more, hydrogen atomic clock will become another critical satellite equipment for the navigation system. In this work, the authors report the latest progress in a space borne passive hydrogen maser for Chinese Compass satellites. The preliminary measurement result of long-term frequency stability in our passive H-maser on ground is 2E-14 over averaging time of ten thousand seconds.
