Lightweight hydrogen maser
Abstract
Based upon a new approach to cavity resonator design, an atomic hydrogen maser frequency standard was developed which is smaller and lighter by a factor of eight from previous hydrogen maser designs, but exhibits improved performance over other types of atomic standard. An operational prototype device is presently in the final assembly stage.
