Estimating Frequency Stability and Cross-Correlations

Abstract

We present a method for estimating the absolute frequency stability of N clocks separate from a reference. The method introduced is a modification of the one proposed by Tavella and Premoli (1993). After developing the theory we apply the method to atomic clock data gathered from the USNO.
