Rubidium Frequency Standard
  • Reference oscillator for navigation and communication equipment
  • Frequency Standard for measurement equipment
  • Frequency accuracy not more than 1.10–9 per year
  • 10 MHz output signal frequency
  • Wide operating temperature range from –40 to +55 °C

DESCRIPTION

The small size Rb Frequency Standard provides VCXO output frequency stabilization to the high stability atomic transition line in 87Rb alkali metal isotope vapours.

The Instrument is based on the unique electrovacuum technology connected with physical and chemical processes of gaseous medium and alkali metal isotope interaction with an electromagnetic field.

The Standard metrological characteristics are superior to the best Crystal Oscillator characteristics.

APPLICATIONS

The Standard high metrological characteristics define its wide application range:

  • Radionavigation systems;
  • Ground and satellite communication systems;
  • Chronometry systems.

Environmental resistance, small size, weight and low power consumption allow this Standard to be used in different mobile systems and complexes.

The Standard specifications are given in the Table.
