A Facility for Ultra-Precise Time and Frequency Transfer: Creating an Australian User Group for the ESA Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space Mission

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The National Measurement Laboratory and the University of Western Australia are the only Australian research institutions developing high precision electromagnetic oscillators ("clocks"). Establishing the state-of-the-art time transfer link between these institutions will combine their expertise and allow a broad spectrum of new research activities important for frequency metrology, global positioning and accurate tests of fundamental physics. The time transfer facility will also create the infrastructure necessary for Australia participation in the future international space mission - Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space.
