A high performance frequency standard and distribution system for Cassini Ka-band experiment

Ultra-stable microwave cryogenic oscillator operated with a Gifford-McMahon cryocooler

“…Thus, it shines in applications where extremely low instability is critical and reliable unattended long-term operation is required. This is the case of the flywheel for primary frequency standards [3,4], space navigation [5], radioastronomy or Very long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) [6,7], tests of fundamental physics [8,9], or for quantum computing [10,11].…”
