Excerpt from Frequency Standards and Clocks: A Tutorial Introduction
The topic of frequency standards and clocks is treated in a tutorial and non-mathematical way. The concepts of time, frequency, frequency stability, and accuracy are introduced. The general physical principles and design features of frequency standards and clocks are described. The design, performance, and limitations of quartz crystal oscillators and atomic devices (cesium, hydrogen, rubidium) are discussed in detail and critically compared for laboratory devices as well as for devices intended for field usage.
