SHORT-TERM FREQUENCY STABILITY MEASUREMENTS

Abstract

STABILITY OF FREQUENCY, ESPECIALLY SHORT-TERM STABILITY, IS A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE FOR A NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS. Considerable effort was put into the design of a measurement system to determine this stability to a high degree of precision. The measurement system is described and its sensitivity is presented along with test results. It is shown that the system has a sensitivity of about ! 3.85 parts in 10 to the 9th power when the sampling time is 0.008 second. The limitng factor of the sensitivity figure is shown to be the multiplier. (Author)
