Abstract

In hydrogen frequency and time standards, the frequency instability of the output signals is expected on a daily measurement time interval of the order of $2·10^{−16}$. However, on the way to the consumer, these signals acquire additional phase disturbances. We have considered the ways described in the literature to reduce the introduced phase instability. We have described their limitations. The accuracy and speed of temperature control is limited by the size of the devices. The accuracy of compensation of phase instability is limited by the part of the transmission system falling inside the compensation loop. To overcome these limitations, we used a modem that we developed. We have added and tested a new algorithm for stabilizing the temperature of the measuring channels of the modem compensator. The modem interface developed by us allows an external isolating amplifier to be included in the compensation loop. We have presented a diagram of such a connection. In the conditions of heating and cooling with a span of 20℃ of the cases of the transmitting modem and an external amplifier located on the side of the receiving modem, we obtained frequency instability introduced by the transmission system with an external amplifier at a measurement time interval of 10,000 s less: – $3.4·10^{−16}$ when the external amplifier is turned on outside the compensation loop; – $3.2·10^{−17}$ when you turn on the external amplifier inside the compensation loop. At the same time, in the modem developed by us, the 1 PPS pulse signal is tied to the 100 MHz signal, therefore, the compensation for the instability of the 100 MHz signal frequency also makes it possible to maintain synchronization of the pulse signals between the input of the transmitting and the output of the receiving modem.

AB  - In hydrogen frequency and time standards, the frequency instability
of the output signals is expected on a daily measurement time
interval of the order of $2·10^{−16}$. However, on the way to the
consumer, these signals acquire additional phase disturbances. We
have considered the ways described in the literature to reduce the
introduced phase instability. We have described their limitations.
The accuracy and speed of temperature control is limited by the size
of the devices. The accuracy of compensation of phase instability is
limited by the part of the transmission system falling inside the
compensation loop.  To overcome these limitations, we used a modem
that we developed. We have added and tested a new algorithm for
stabilizing the temperature of the measuring channels of the modem
compensator. The modem interface developed by us allows an external
isolating amplifier to be included in the compensation loop. We have
presented a diagram of such a connection.  In the conditions of
heating and cooling with a span of 20℃ of the cases of the
transmitting modem and an external amplifier located on the side of
the receiving modem, we obtained frequency instability introduced by
the transmission system with an external amplifier at a measurement
time interval of 10,000 s less:  – $3.4·10^{−16}$ when the external
amplifier is turned on outside the compensation loop;  –
$3.2·10^{−17}$ when you turn on the external amplifier inside the
compensation loop.  At the same time, in the modem developed by us,
the 1 PPS pulse signal is tied to the 100 MHz signal, therefore, the
compensation for the instability of the 100 MHz signal frequency also
makes it possible to maintain synchronization of the pulse signals
between the input of the transmitting and the output of the receiving
modem.
