A Centralized Frequency-Control System for Shipboard Use

Abstract

Modern naval communication equipment, as well as other shipboard electronic systems, must have a frequency stability better than one part in 10 to the 7th in order to meet present and future operational requirements. A centralized system requiring a precision oscillator supplying one part in 10 to the 8th frequency stability for long periods is proposed for manual, sequential, or direct control of the end equipment. The method outlined in this report is based mainly on sequential operation; i.e., a repetitive automatic control. A centralized control system is outlined and the results of experimental work indicate that it would be feasible. By means of centralized frequency control, improved and more reliable communication would be obtained. The components such as the synthesizer, oscillator, and phase control for this method have been developed or are ready for engineering consideration.
