Cesium-Atomic Beam Oscillator Technology for Navigation Satellites.

Abstract

This report presents the results of the second phase of the program of research and exploratory development directed toward cesium atomic-beam-stabilized oscillators for navigation satellite applications. The specific objectives of the second phase were: (1) Qualification of a cesium beam tube; (2) Block diagram of proposed standard; (3) System analysis of proposed standard; (4) Design of demonstrable breadboard model.
