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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
