Continuing with referring to Fig. 1, the acquisition of atom relaxation time: logic gate array is occurred by processor, it is characterized in that: generating The N number of NOT gate of odd level, input terminal receive the signal from the received A/D sampling of processor, and output end is anti-through processor The high-speed optical switch Shutter being fed in the light source of quantized system, to control its state ' opening ' or ' pass '.When according to Fig. 1's When schematic diagram is started to work, it is assumed that the high speed Shutter in this moment light source module is ' opening ' state, then, light source excitation Light is directly entered in cavity bubble system after passing through high speed Shutter, under the action of conventional atom frequency marking principle, completes quantized system Quantum frequency discrimination.Quantum frequency discrimination signal samples through A/D, is sent into logic gate array after processor processing, because light source of upper moment swashs Encouraging light can be through cavity bubble system, so the signal that generates through A/D sampling of moment is high level ' 1 ', after odd level logic inverter Become low level ' 0 ', act on the high speed Shutter in light source module, makes its ' pass ' state.It circuits sequentially, in logic gate The output end of array will appear ' 1 '-' 0 '-' 1 ' ... ' 0 ' variation, by processor to frequency signal detect, we Obtain corresponding time parameter.
Fig. 3 is referred to, Fig. 3 is a kind of device based on the assessment of atomic clock short-term stability provided in an embodiment of the present invention Schematic diagram 2.Odd number NOT gate is generated by microprocessor to be serially connected, can generate self-oscillation, which constitutes a ring Shape oscillator.It is t, ring oscillator between the mean transit delay of each gate circuit is slow if the number N of NOT gate is odd number in circuit The cycle of oscillation of generation is T.It is assumed that the initial state of certain moment A1 point is 1, then after 1 transmission delay t, A2 point becomes 0, then passes through Crossing 1 transmission delay t, A3 point becomes 1 ..., and after the N number of transmission delay Nt of odd number, initial state ' 1 ' becomes ' 0 '.Same reason: just State ' 0 ' becomes ' 1 '.It is as shown in Figure 2 that signal transmits schematic diagram.According to fig. 2, available formula (1): T0=2Nt.When above-mentioned annular After oscillator seals in atomic clock system, it can obtain as shown in Figure 3.The signal period that the frequency signal test side of Fig. 3 detects such as Formula (2): T1=2 (Nt+ Δ t).Wherein, Δ t is the atomic time parameter that we need to know.By formula (1) and (2), it can be derived from formula (3): Δ t=(T1-T0)/2.Δ t in above formula is extremely important to our further work expansion: root According to Fig. 1 it is recognised that Δ t is determined by the circuit of quantized system and periphery, and the response time of electronic circuit is very fast , generally also reach 10nS magnitude or more, so determining that the key of Δ t value should be the quantized system part in Fig. 1.
After the Δ t in the formula that obtains (3), microprocessor just carries out further work: modulating electricity according to conventional atom clock Road technique does following improvement, in conjunction with Fig. 1, external clock end XTAL and AD9852 (" the detection letter in Fig. 1 of microprocessor Number generate " in module, " modulation circuit " relative to traditional technology) external clock end Input access from voltage controlled crystal oscillator The clock signal of VCXO output.Keep the stability of the IOUT pin output end frequency signal of DDS consistent with external clock reference.It is such as defeated Signal frequency is that the signal frequency of 5.3125MHz or 5.3123MHz so MCLK clock end should be greater than 20MHz out, with expectation Better phase noise is obtained, after filtered external circuit, purer signal spectrum can be obtained.
FSELECT is keying FM signal input terminal, that is, our modulated square wave signal input part, herein we The Δ t obtained according to above-mentioned formula (3) is needed to determine the frequency values of square-wave signal here, we are with 5* Δ t time (i.e. 1/ (5* Δ t) frequency) as our value standard.Such as 1/ (5* Δ t)=79Hz.There are two frequency controls inside the DDS that we use Frequency value F 0=5.3125MHz, F1=5.3123MHz pre-set is stored in by register processed by way of programming In register, (i.e. level rising edge or failing edge conversion, the end IOUT of DDS when there is the input of 79Hz square-wave signal at the end FSELECT The value of F1 or F0 will be read from frequency control register respectively therewith as output, and can ensure that frequency signal is switching Shi Xiangwei is unchanged.
Fig. 5 is referred to, Fig. 5 is a kind of device based on the assessment of atomic clock short-term stability provided in an embodiment of the present invention The schematic diagram of quantized system frequency discrimination signal output waveform.In conjunction with conventional atom clock technical principle, it is added in AD9852 pin FSELECT To realize that the square wave FM signal frequency of keying frequency modulation decides what kind of speed to switch amount of alignment subcenter frequency on end The frequency signal of rate or so, due to the presence of the relaxation time of atomic spin, so the keying frequency modulation being added in quantized system is micro- Wave signal can generate the signal waveform such as Fig. 5 in the A/D sampling end of Fig. 1 after the effect of the frequency discrimination of quantized system.
In the signal waveform of Fig. 5, when conventional circuit design, should be placed on emphasis point in A, B section in figure, because of the area A, B The exactly region of servo-system progress frequency discrimination signal voltage difference acquisition.In this patent we focus in figure A, B sections it is outer Concave part, this is the relaxation time t for the atom that we need to solve.
Detailed analysis must be carried out to loop each point signal.According to existing atomic clock technology circuit structure, it is assumed that modulation Signal is formula (4): S=Asin (2 π ft), then light inspection fundamental wave output is formula (5): S1=ABsin (2 π ft+ φ+φ1), wherein φ Equal to 0 or 180 degree, φ1It is the phase shift that phase modulation and frequency multiplier circuit introduce.After amplifying by frequency-selecting, signal expression is formula (6): S2=KaABsin (2 π ft+ φ+φ12), φ2It is the phase shift of frequency-selective amplifier.Because of the mathematical expression of phase sensitive detection It is multiplier, after phase-sensitive amplifier, signal is formula (7): S3=KaKpABsin (2 π ft+ φ+φ12)sin(2π Ft)=(- 1/2) KaKpAB [cos (4 π ft+ φ+φ12)-cos(φ+φ12)], by the filter action of integrator, AC compounent in phase-sensitive amplifier output will be filtered, and the voltage-controlled voltage finally exported is formula (8): SV=(1/2) KaKpABcos(φ+φ12)。
In order to make system worked well and there is maximum gain, it is necessary to phase shifter be added in systems to offset (φ1+ φ2) phase shift.Any reason causes (φ12) variation, will all cause the change in gain of system, thus generate frequency drift It moves.Also it is not easy to measurement of this patent to relaxation time τ.According to conventional atom clock technology, in conjunction with Fig. 1, formula (3) and we select (5* Δ t), in DDS link, (5* Δ t) is generated by processor to the square-wave signal 1/ of keying frequency modulation to the modulating frequency 1/ taken , then the timing of servo-system acquisition also should generate (we term it synchronization signals) by it, and several signals will be kept Phase it is adjustable by processor number.(φ in above-mentioned formula (8)12) extra phase shift will eventually embody synchronization in Fig. 5 The phase change of signal and frequency discrimination signal.Traditional technology can not overcome such problems herein, we pass through in Fig. 1 The information that sampled signal display module can obtain Fig. 5 (wherein contains the (φ in formula (8)12) extra phase shift), pass through place Control of the device to relaxation time module is managed, changes the phase of synchronization signal in Fig. 5 particularly to realize to signal display module The measurement of relaxation time τ in (i.e. Fig. 5).

(3) line width:What abscissa identified is the changing value of frequency f in (a) figure of Fig. 6, and actually it remembers Record the process that D/A in Fig. 1 changes voltage-controlled voltage.Because being D/A and voltage controlled crystal oscillator VCXO output frequency before frequency sweep Relationship, and record in the processor, and think by D/A export voltage change caused by frequency change in quantized system line width In range and the rate-adaptive pacemaker of voltage controlled crystal oscillator is linear, thus this can be right directly from the specific voltage value on axis of abscissas The corresponding frequency of crystal oscillator is answered, according to existing atomic clock technology, this frequency can be total by atom in quantized system of indirect reformer The frequency values of vibration.According to the scheme of Fig. 1 we handled by difference quotient after can obtain (b) figure in Fig. 6: then A point and B in figure Point peak-to-peak value, a, b point that will be corresponded in Fig. 6 (a) will remember that 6 (a) abscissa point is entirely processor controlled D/A defeated Out caused VCXO frequency variation indirect conversion and come, so any point (including a, b point) in abscissa is all by processor It records.Therefore the frequency interval δ between A point and B pointfFrequency interval f2-f1 between as a point and b point, we are can to know Road, then line width is calculated as
(4) slope value K.To solve the problems, such as to calculate slope K in practice, we use following methods: passing through processor The longitudinal axis data of difference quotient curve in Fig. 6 (b) are compared, obtain the maximum value V of Y axis coordinate in difference quotient curveHIt is (B point) and minimum Value VL(A point), and record this moment corresponding X-axis frequency coordinate HfAnd Lf.They are one-to-one relationships.By above-mentioned Scheme, in VL-VHIn range, by the judgment method of software select an intermediate value (such as: X-axis one shares 100 points, then selecting The median point selected is 50), this position to be set to origin (0,0), puts respectively take identical point (example to the left and right side of X-axis respectively according to this Such as take 20 points), formula (11): V=a+Kx+j are carried out the following processing to this 41 point datas.Wherein K be we require it is oblique Rate value, a are unknown constants, and j is random error, it indicates the combined influence of many factors not accounted for, it is believed that Ej= 0。
To each point (xi, Vi), formula (12) should be met according to formula (11):: Vi=a+Kxi+j
(i=1,2, n).IfIt is our required estimations, then we always wish each point (xi, Vi) with Deviation between line V=a+Kx is small as far as possible.In x=xiPlace, (xi, Vi) and straight line V=a+Kx between deviation be formula (13): Δ Vi=Vi-(a+Kxi) (i=1,2, n).Here there is the deviation of n point, it should comprehensively consider, it is clear that I Cannot be indicated with algebraical sum because deviation has just and has negative, their algebraical sum will appear positive and negative offset and cannot represent Real total deviation.If summing again after taking absolute value, it is clear that can be to avoid this disadvantage, but be not easy to make mathematical operation, institute To indicate total deviation formula (14) using sum of square of deviations:
MakeReach minimum, as a, the estimation of K.Due toIt is a, K's Non-negative quadratic function, this minimum certainly exist.Known by calculus, is madeReach minimum a, K should meet following agenda Group formula (15):
After arrangement, formula (16) can be obtained:
If noteFormula (17) can then be obtained:And formula (18):Here it acquiresIt is exactly slope value K required for us.
(5) gain N.It can be directly configured from Fig. 1 principle, usual value range is 10-30.
