Abstract

The developed software allows for steering the phase and the frequency of the signal produced by the ensemble of atomic clocks. The software includes the following options: steering to the UTS timescale using the data published in the Circular T and the Rapid UTC by BIPM; steering to the UTC timescale transferred by the global navigational satellite systems (GLONASS, GPS, Galileo); steering to the timescales realized in remote ensembles using the GNSS CV/AV or TWSTFT comparison methods; and a simple steering mode allowing to compensate pre-calculated offsets of phase and frequency. Two algorithms of optimal frequency control are used: the minimal control energy algorithm and the Linear Quadratic Gaussian control (LQG). The steering interval (the interval between frequency corrections) may be configured in the range form 15 minutes to 30 days. The phase time constant (transient time length) may be configured in the range from 1 hour to 120 days. The simulation results and real measurement results are presented. The frequency instability of the controlled signal is analysed.
