  2. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    The core of the traditional radio frequency atomic clock is a tunable microwave cavity containing a gas. In a hydrogen maser clock the gas emits microwaves (the gas mases) on a hyperfine transition, the field in the cavity oscillates, and the cavity is tuned for maximum microwave amplitude. Alternatively, in a caesium or rubidium clock, the ...

  4. Radio clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock

    A modern LF radio-controlled clock. A radio clock or radio-controlled clock (RCC), and often colloquially (and incorrectly [1]) referred to as an "atomic clock", is a type of quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock.

  5. Caesium standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium_standard

    The caesium standard is a primary frequency standard in which the photon absorption by transitions between the two hyperfine ground states of caesium-133 atoms is used to control the output frequency. The first caesium clock was built by Louis Essen in 1955 at the National Physical Laboratory in the UK [1] and promoted worldwide by Gernot M. R ...

  6. WWVB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB

    WWVB is a longwave time signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado and is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). [1] Most radio-controlled clocks in North America [2] use WWVB's transmissions to set the correct time.

  7. International Atomic Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time

    The majority of the clocks involved are caesium clocks; the International System of Units (SI) definition of the second is based on caesium. [6] The clocks are compared using GPS signals and two-way satellite time and frequency transfer. [7] Due to the signal averaging TAI is an order of magnitude more stable than its best constituent clock.
