  • piirang kaasaegsete aatomikellade, nt aatomifontäänkellade ja optiliste võrekellade, sagedusstabiilsusele
  • limitation to frequency stability for modern atomic clocks such as atomic fountains and optical lattice clocks
müraefekt
Usage examples
  • Müraefekt on väärvõnkumise häire, st et kohaliku ostsillaatori (LO) kõrgsageduslik müra kandub perioodilise küsitlusprotsessi käigus, millega ostsillaatori sagedus sünkroniseeritakse aatomite sagedusega, üle nulli sageduseks (heterodüneerub). See müra jäljendab kella olemuslikku statistilist ebastabiilsust ja liitub sellega ning seeläbi halvendab see efekt aatomikella stabiilsust ning seab kohaliku ostsillaatori toimivusele uusi ja rangeid nõudmisi.
dick effect
Usage examples
  • The dick effect is an aliasing effect: High frequency noise in a required local oscillator (LO) is aliased (heterodyned) to near zero frequency by a periodic interrogation process that locks the frequency of the LO to that of the atoms. The noise mimics and adds to the clock's inherent statistical instability, which is determined by the number of atoms or photons available. In so doing, the effect degrades the stability of the atomic clock and places new and stringent demands on LO performance.
