Title Data processing in precise time and frequency applications Author(s) M. Desaintfuscien Publication Berlin, Springer, 2007. Description 1 online resource (xvii, 245 p.) : ill Abstract Note Physical processes, involving atomic phenomena, allow more and more precise time and frequency measurements. This progress is not possible without convenient processing of the respective raw data. The book describes the data processing at various levels: design of the time and frequency references, characterization of the time and frequency references, applications involving precise time and/or frequency references. The metrological properties stability, accuracy and reproducibility are defined and the processes leading to their characterization are shown. The various aspects of the variance o Contents Note Preliminaries; Introduction to the Series; Foreword; Contents; List of Figures; List of Tables; 1 Introduction; Part I Very High Performances Oscillators; 2 The Two Parts of an Oscillator; 3 Control of the Local Oscillator Frequency; Part II Characterization of Very High Performances Oscillators; 4 Accuracy; 5 Reproducibility; 6 Stability; Part III Applications; 7 Time and Frequency Metrology; 8 Global Positioning System; 9 Very Long Base Interferometry; Part IV Appendix; A Useful Integrals; B Some Calculational Details; References; Index Keyword(s) 1.
