AT2, A New Time Scale Algorithm: AT1 Plus Frequency Variance

M Weiss and T Weissert

Show affiliations


The existing AT1 algorithm produces a time scale with a fractional frequency variation smaller than that of any clock in the ensemble. We are developing a modification to AT1 that includes the additional desirable features: automatic frequency-step detection, the option to run in an optimal post-processing mode and to run with minimal supervision in non-technical environments. These properties are facilitated by the inclusion of a Kalman-filter estimate of the frequency variance of each clock in the scale. Results are reported from both simulated and real clock data to demonstrate automatic frequency-step detection.
