Domain time and calendars
  • ülitäpne kell, mis kasutab aja mõõtmiseks kvantsüsteemides toimuvaid püsiva sagedusega elektromagnetvõnkumisi
  • clock device that uses an electronic transition frequency in the microwave, optical, or ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum of atoms as a frequency standard for its timekeeping element
    Good to know
    • Atomic clocks are the most accurate time and frequency standards known, and are used as primary standards for international time distribution services, to control the wave frequency of television broadcasts, and in global navigation satellite systems such as GPS.
aatomkell
Usage examples
  • Et rahuldada vajadust parema ajaetaloni järele, on loodud aatomkellad.
atomic clock
Usage examples
  • During the last decades atomic clocks and frequency standards have become an important resource for advanced economies with impact ranging from satellite navigation (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) to high speed communication networks, where they ensure synchronisation of data packets at ever higher bit rates.

aatomkell preferred
kvantkell variant
  • kell, mille ajaarvestusmehhanism põhineb elektromagnetkiirguse koostoimel teatud aatomite püsiva sagedusega elektromagnetvõnkumistel
  • kell, mis võimaldab mõõta aega aatomite resonantssageduse põhjal
  • clock whose timekeeping mechanism is based on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the excited states of certain atoms
  • clock that measures time by monitoring the resonant frequency of atoms
aatomkell preferred
Usage examples
  • Aatomkell on nt kell, milles kasutatakse, kas aatomi emissioonispektri ülipeent üleminekut mikrolainepiirkonnas või elektronide üleminekut optilises või ultraviolettpiirkonnas aja säilitamise sagedusstandardina.
kvantkell variant
atomic clock
Usage examples
  • Specifically, either a hyperfine transition in the microwave region, or an electron transition in the optical or ultraviolet region, of the emission spectrum of an atomic clock is used as a frequency standard for the time keeping element.
