Impact of Improved Clocks and Oscillators on Communications and Navigation Systems

Samuel R. Stein

Abstract:	In September of this year, the National Bureau of Standards held a Workshop in the Washington D.C. area which addressed the role of clocks and oscillators in large scale systems, particularly communications and navigation. The ultimate purpose of this workshop was to do two things: first, to provide research and development people in government, at universities and in companies with adequate information to appropriately direct their research activities towards the real needs for clock and oscillator improvements; second, to determine whether or not there are any ways in which existing oscillators and clocks could serve systems better than they are doing now. The Workshop took place over a period of three-days, with several technical papers and two panel sessions which were instrumental in determining the state of opinion in this field.
