A Rubidium Clock for GPS

Abstract

The work at EG&G, Inc. on a second-source rubidium frequency standard for use in the GPS navigation satellites has now reached the prototype stage. This paper describes (1) the design objectives and approach, (2) the more important design features, (3) the signal parameters and error budget, and (4) the early results of this program up to the present.
