Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and partners have demonstrated an experimental, next-generation atomic clock—ticking at high "optical" frequencies—that is much ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As reliance on precise frequency and timing increases due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) enabling 5G communication networks, data ...

for GSM base stations; and 10.23 MHz for GPS. The clock provides a frequency stability change of ± 5 x10 –11 over the temperature range of –5° to 55°C.

WASHINGTON — Researchers have demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn’t require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks ...

This is a prototype rubidium “atomic clock” developed for Block I Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites about 1974. It dates from the “concept validation phase” of the program, from 1974 through ...
