New Hydrogen Masers at the National Research Council of Canada

Abstract

Two active hydrogen masers for laboratory use have been constructed recently at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). These have been designed to be operated as clocks and as contributors to the NRC time scale. Details of their design are presented. Although the masers have not yet been operated under full temperature control and with the complete electronics package, some preliminary measurements of line-Q and frequency stability have been made, and will be discussed.
