Abstract: | A kind of small hydrogen maser standard far timekeeping is being developed at Shanghai Observatory. The maser employs a cylindrical capacitively loaded cavity construction, resulting in significant size and weight reduction compared to a traditional hydrogen maser. The Q of the compact cavity is electronically enhanced by a suitable positive feedback into the cavity to enable sustained maser oscillation.The long-term stability of the maser is improved by a cavity frequency stabilization servo system. This paper describes the design and development of the maser, as well as photographs of the new maser system during the construction phase. |
