Description:
The development of precision oscillators for time and frequency standards is discussed. The applications of the oscillators to radio communication, research projects, navigation systems, and calibration sources are reported. The status of a cesium beam stabilized oscillator is examined. Photographs of the components are provided. The performance of quartz and rubidium oscillators is compared with the performance of cesium resonators.
