Add More Capability to Your Atomic Clocks to Create UTC-Traceable Time
We are the market leader in providing atomic frequency standards to metrology laboratories across the globe. Our state-of-the-art facilities manufacture the 5071A and 5071B cesium references with accuracies as low as 5E−13, with no systemic frequency drift during the operational life of the unit and no need for calibration. The MHM-2020 active hydrogen maser uses stimulated emissions to generate the hyperfine transition frequency of ground-state hydrogen atoms. The resulting stabilities, when measured over intervals of 1 second to 1,000 seconds, are the highest for any commercially available clock.
Time and Frequency Development Tools
Metrology labs, academic research institutions and commercial laboratories require a powerful set of time and frequency tools to optimize the use of their atomic clocks as part of their research projects. These tools need to be capable of capturing, storing, managing and analyzing a variety of clock properties.
As the market leader in the development and production of atomic clocks, we offer a variety of time and frequency tools to measure short-term phase noise, long-term wander or more often a combination of clock characteristics. Our time and frequency measurement instruments and supporting software suites can help you achieve the highest level of precision, efficiency and reliability in your time and frequency project.
