The invention relates to a phase lock loop (100) comprising: - a loop filter (140), - a voltage controlled oscillator (150), - a frequency divider (160), - a frequency lock detector (113), able to emit a frequency lock indication signal (LOCK), - a digital ...
In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and electrical characterization of a low-power microwave source for interrogation of cesium atomic hyperfine transition frequency using the coherent population trapping (CPT) technique. The 4.6-GHz frequen ...
