Abstract

See full text

A physics package interrogation signal can be digitally synthesized for use in an atomic frequency standard with one or more sets of integrally-related sub-multiples of a clock frequency in which one of the integrally-related sub-multiple frequencies is varied to provide frequency modulation between integrally-adjacent sub-multiple frequencies through the use of preloadable counters, the controlled delay and the synchronization of digital pulse trains and operation in plural modes. The method and apparatus can reduce false lock possibilities, optimize the ability of the physics package to remain locked, and reduce phase noise in the output of an atomic frequency standard.
