Project: New generation of frequency standards for industry

This research will develop new standards to improve the stability of the high frequency atomic clocks used to provide satellite navigation systems and fast internet access. Current atomic clocks housed in laboratories meet performance requirements; however, these need to be smaller and capable of operating in harsh environments to be used in industrial environments. This project will improve the robustness and portability of atomic clocks and aims to qualify such clocks for use in satellites in space. This research should result in individual clocks becoming more stable and improved synchronisation between them, allowing higher speed data transfer with fewer errors and will provide more reliable systems for industry and consumers.
