Registration for EFTS 2019 will be open at the end of January 2019.
Lectures and Seminars
- Introduction to TF – Basic concepts and vocabulary (quality, certification, traceability etc), and technical issues (oscillators, frequency standards, accuracy, stability, phase noise, jitter, physical environment, etc.).
- Measurement methods and experimental techniques – Spectra (phase noise and L(f), amplitude noise), variances, frequency measurement and comparison.
- Atomic clocks – Physics, traditional clocks (atomic beam, vapor cell, and maser), cold atoms, optical clocks, small-size clocks.
- Oscillators – RF/microwave, cavity-stabilized lasers, optical frequency combs.
- Timing and applications – Time scales, navigation, frequency transfer and synchronization.
- Physics, applications, and trends.
The preliminary EFTS 2019 course programme:
Hands-on Laboratory Courses
- Laboratory sessions – Frequency stability and AM/PM noise, resonators and oscillators, timing and synchronization, vapor cell clocks, cold atoms, etc. Every day, the attendees will do real experiments and measurements.
Social Events
