Development of a light weight, military, cesium standard
Abstract
The paper describes a lightweight, military, cesium beam frequency standard which represents a further development and improvement of the master regulating clock TD-1251/U, presently being manufactured. The weight will be reduced from the present 60 lbs to less than 30 lbs. This severe requirement made necessary the redesign of a cesium beam resonator as well as an electronic system.
