Seminar organized by the IEEE Student Branch of University of Florence and hold by Eng. Roberto Fabbri. 

Title of the seminar: atomic clocks for space applications

 

Abstract: Time is present everywhere around us and is integral part of our daily lives. The precise measurement of time intervals is the foundation of countless human activities, including aviation, telecommunications, smart grid synchronization, research and science applications (e.g., radio astronomy, interferometry, etc.), definition of international time and satellite navigation (GNSS).

The beating heart of these systems is a quartz oscillator, or, much more often, an atomic clock.

This seminar introduces the world of atomic clocks for space applications, focusing on microwave atomic clocks, describing the physical operating principles of the technologies currently used, their metrology, performances, and limitations.
