TY - JOUR AU - Pikhtelev, A. AB - ATOMIC CLOCKS AND THE TIME ERRORS OF ADJUSTABLE ELECTRONIC CLOCKS UDC 529.781 A. B. Sadovskii, G. P. Pashev, E. V. Zuev, and A. I. Pikhtelev Atomic clocks using 87Rb vapor are widely used in precision electronic clocks; one can assume that the fre = quency w(t) from the latter is equal to the sum of the nominal value Wn and the frequency fluctuation Aw(t), which is the cause of the error in time recording. This error may be reduced by correcting the electronic clock. The simplest correction algorithm is based on measuring the deviation of the reading from that of a standard clock V(to-r) at the start and the same V(t0) at the end of a calibration interval (to-r; to); then at time to the reference oscillator in the electronic clock is corrected in frequency by Ac% (to) = 2:~ V (to) -- V (t o -- ~) , and the clock reading is corrected by V(t0); then the readings of the corrected and standard clocks coincide at to, and the systematic frequency deviation in the reference oscillator is on average balanced out. After the correction, the link to the standard clock is broken, and the corrected clock is TI - Atomic clocks and the time errors of adjustable electronic clocks JF - Measurement Techniques DO - 10.1007/BF00818668 DA - 2004-11-29 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/atomic-clocks-and-the-time-errors-of-adjustable-electronic-clocks-0BLXYTpCvr SP - 391 EP - 392 VL - 18 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
