Desaintfuscien M. Data Processing in Precise Time and Frequency Applications

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2007. — 222 p. — (CODATA) — ISBN: 3642080278.Physical processes, involving atomic phenomena, allow more and more precise time and frequency measurements. This progress is not possible without convenient processing of the respective raw data. This book describes the data processing at various levels: design of the time and frequency references, characterization of the time and frequency references, and applications involving precise time and/or frequency references.Very High Performances Oscillators
