IEN Time and Frequency Metrological Activity and Support to User Needs

Abstract

The increased importance of time and frequency metrology in scientific and industrial applications has raised a request of a wider spectrum of services from the national standard laboratories. On the metrological side, a new generation of frequency standards and the worldwide availability of extremely accurate time dissemination systems have opened new perspectives of research and applications. The IEN Time and Frequency Laboratory, charged with the realization and dissemination of the Italian standard time, in order to meet the requests of different users has been engaged in different activities that are reviewed in this paper, where also the future possibilities are discussed.
