Comparisons of the PTB primary clocks with TAI in 1999
نویسندگان
چکیده
The primary clocks CS1, CS2 and CS3 of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have contributed to the realization of International Atomic Time, TAI (Temps Atomique International), throughout 1999. Their operation, their performance and the uncertainty with which they realized the International System of Units (SI) second are described in some detail, together with the results and associated uncertainties of comparisons of the realized second with the TAI scale unit for each clock.

According to the current Airport planning and design practices, for a given demand level there is a corresponding space requirement. While in practice, there are always trade-offs between cost and levels of service, labor and automation, equipment and fixed facilities, and expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new ones. In this research, the airport passenger Terminal Building (P...
متن کاملAn Update on Ptb’s Activities in Time and Frequency
Recent activities in the field of time and frequency pursued at PTB were directed towards an improvement in quality and reliability of services offered by PTB. The infrastructure for realizing the time scale UTC (PTB) and the monitoring of PTB’s time services was modernized. Several calibration exercises were conducted which resulted in an improved knowledge of internal delays of PTB’s time com...
متن کاملPerformance of the PTB reconstructed primary clock CS1 and an estimate of its current uncertainty
The paper describes the current performance of the primary clock CS1 of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). The clock employs a thermal atomic beam and magnetic state selection. After major reconstruction during 1995 and 1996, routine clock operation was restarted in May 1997. Results of comparisons with UTC(PTB) and other internationally recognized time scales are presented. An ev...
