The Selection and Use of Precise Frequency and Time Systems

Abstract : The ITU-R has authorized the creation of a handbook, "The Selection and Use of Precise Frequency and Time Systems." This handbook is designed for use by the beginner in the field and for undeveloped countries that wish to establish a national laboratory or calibration laboratory. The lack of such a handbook is serious, so the ITU has decided to generate one. The editor, Richard L. Sydnor, and the assistant editor, David Allan, have selected authors for the various chapters from experts in the field and have correlated and generated the various drafts for the final version.
