Wherein, in above-mentioned table, the concrete numerical value of each gas and can fill environment processed and change because of different system, please refer to actual value during design.
In practical application, because resonance absorption bubble is made by glass material, glass envelope wall will produce small deformation under pressure.Deformation quantity varies in size at various pressures, and the deformation of bubble wall, by causing resonance absorption foam to amass, small change occurs.In the present embodiment design process, resonance absorption bubble is not before being filled with buffer gas, and in it, external pressure is all atmospheric pressure, does not produce deformation.Time under atmospheric environment, the buffer gas pressure that inside is filled is less than external atmosphere pressure, and now steeping wall must be out of shape by external pressure, and then makes resonance absorption steep overall volume compression, but buffer gas pressure is controlled by inflation source (vacuum pump), and pressure can accurately ensure filling requirement processed; Under vacuum conditions, outside loses atmospheric environment, owing to steeping the effect of interior gas, and bubble wall generation deformation, overall volume increases, according to gas equation: in formula P for bubble internal gas pressure, V be that resonance absorption foam is long-pending, T is operating ambient temperature.Under the impact not considering operating ambient temperature T, atomic clock is by ground to space microgravity vacuum environment, and the volume V of resonance absorption bubble becomes large, and P can be caused like this to reduce, and then in bubble, buffer gas will cause pressure frequency displacement, thus atomic clock output signal frequency value is caused to change.
The combined type atomic clock that the present embodiment provides, the pressure coefficient produced according to different buffer gass and temperature coefficient difference (have just have negative), ratio processed is filled by what regulate different buffer gas, to realize in resonance absorption bubble total gaseous tension coefficient close to 0, total gas temperature coefficient is close to 0 or be 0.And then overcome pressure frequency displacement or temperature coefficient frequency displacement.

S2: operate according to S1, due to the existence of residual pressure coefficient, when atomic clock is from ground to space time (or space is to ground), due to the change (bubble internal gas pressure is certain) of resonance absorption bubble external pressure, resonance absorption foam can be caused to amass the change of V, and then cause the change of steeping internal gas pressure P.Because gaseous tension coefficient is not 0, frequency displacement will be caused.The present embodiment controls thermostat module 203 by central processing unit 207 makes its temperature T change, therefore, even if resonance absorption foam amasss V change, but according to equation of gaseous state: PV/T=constant, the present embodiment just can ensure that steeping interior pressure P does not change, and then overcomes pressure frequency displacement.Simultaneously, because the change of temperature will cause the temperature coefficient frequency displacement of gas in upper table, therefore, the present embodiment fills ratio processed by control Krypton, hydrogen, nitrogen three, when making its total gas temperature coefficient close to 0 after temperature variation or being 0, and then overcome temperature coefficient frequency displacement.Ensure that combined type atomic clock that the embodiment of the present invention provides is when ground and Space-Work by the measure of S1, S2, resonance absorption bubble internal gas pressure is constant, overcomes pressure frequency displacement.Simultaneously control thermostat module 203 in order to ensure bubble internal gas pressure be constant by central processing unit 207, after taking temperature compensation, also can not cause the temperature coefficient frequency displacement of gas.
In the present embodiment, by the magnetic field intensity that central processing unit 207 regulates magnetic field control module 205 to produce, can realize finely tuning (owing to accurately filling air pressure number processed in S1 to Krypton, hydrogen, nitrogen three gaseous tension coefficient and temperature coefficient, to affect atomic clock accuracy, the present embodiment regulates magnetic field intensity that frequency is adjusted to standard frequency by central processing unit 202).
