Introduction To The Rubidium Frequency Standard Using The Fe5650a 1st Edition Parker by Parker 9781735098609, 1735098604 instant download after payment.

This book delivers the physical principles of the Rubidium Frequency Standard (RFS) along with the modifications, tests and software. The first several chapters introduce the origin and role of the hyperfine transitions, optical pumping, frequency detection, servo electronics, Allan Deviation, sources of error, and the basic functional blocks as exemplified by the FE5650A. The remaining chapters describe auxiliary construction to implement the FE5650A unit, modifications for wider bandwidth (100Hz-15MHz), methods for special-purpose calibration, and construction of an external controller to set the RFS frequency. As mentioned, the book resources include demo-quality software for communications, an external controller and for calculating and plotting the Allan Deviation. The external controller software is written in C/C++ and the PC based software is written with Microsoft Visual Basic/C#.
