چکیده
This article reports the design, the breadboarding, and the validation of an ultrastable cryogenic sapphire oscillator operated in an autonomous cryocooler. The objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of a frequency stability of 3x10(-15) between 1 and 1000 s for the European Space Agency deep space stations. This represents the lowest fractional frequency instability ever achieved with cryocoolers. The preliminary results presented in this paper validate the design we adopted for the sapphire resonator, the cold source, and the oscillator loop.

Design of a Cryocooled Sapphire Oscillator for the Cassini Ka-Band Experiment
We present design aspects of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator that is being developed for ultra-high short-term stability and low phase noise in support of the Cassini Ka-band (32-GHz) radio science experiment. With cooling provided by a commercial cryocooler instead of liquid helium, this standard is designed to operate continuously for periods of a year or more. Performance targets are a stabi...

In the present study, some perturbation methods are applied to Duffing equations having a displacement time-delayed variable to study the stability of such systems. Two approaches are considered to analyze Duffing oscillator having a strong delayed variable. The homotopy perturbation method is applied through the frequency analysis and nonlinear frequency is formulated as a function of all the ...

متن کاملInfluence of Temperature Variations on the Stability of a Submm Wave Receiver
Radio astronomy requires SIS mixers and receivers with very high stability. The goal for the total power stability of the ALMA receivers is 1x10 over 1 second. The SIS mixer is one of the most critical components in the receiver signal chain determining stability. Most changes in mixer noise and gain are due to variations of its operating conditions. In this paper we present accurate measuremen...
