A systems approach to high performance oscillatorsThe purpose of this paper is to show how systems composed of multiple oscillators and resonators can achieve superior performance compared to a single oscillator. Experimental results are presented for two systems based on quartz crystals which provide state-of-the-art stability over a much wider range of averaging times than has been previously achieved. One system has achieved a factor of five improvement in noise floor compared to all previously reported results.
