Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1139-2008, IEEE Standard Definitions of Physical Quantities for Fundamental Frequency and Time

8、 MetrologyRandom Instabilities. Techniques to characterize and to measure the frequency, phase, and amplitude instabilities in frequency and time devices and in received radio signals are of fundamental importance to all manufacturers and users of frequency and time technology. In 1964, Standards Co

9、ordinating Committee 14 and, in 1966, the Technical Committee on Frequency and Time were formed to prepare an IEEE standard on frequency stability. In 1969, these committees completed a document proposing definitions for measures of frequency and phase stabilities (Barnes B14).aIn 1988, an updated I

10、EEE standard on frequency stability was published as IEEE Std 1139-1988, IEEE Standard Definitions of Physical Quantities for Fundamental Frequency and Time Metrology. Later on a revision of this standard was published as IEEE Std 1139-1999, IEEE Standard Definitions of Physical Quantities for Funda

11、mental Frequency and Time MetrologyRandom Instabilities. The recommended measures of instabilities in frequency generators have gained acceptance among frequency and time users throughout the world. This standard is a revision of IEEE Std 1139-1999, which had been prepared by a previous Standards Co

12、ordinating Committee 27, consisting of John R. Vig, Chair; Eva S. Ferre-Pikal, Vice Chair; James C. Camparo, Leonard S. Cutler, Lute Maleki, William J. Riley, Samuel R. Stein, Claudine Thomas, Fred L. Walls, and Joseph D. White. Some clauses of the 1999 standard remain unchanged. Most of the major m

13、anufacturers now specify instability characteristics of their standards in terms of the recommended measures. This standard thus defines and formalizes the general practice.

Quantities covered include frequency, amplitude, and phase instabilities; spectral densities of frequency, amplitude, and phase fluctuations; and time-domain deviations of frequency fluctuations. In addition, recommendations are made for the reporting of measurements of frequency, amplitude,

The annexes cover basic concepts and definitions, time prediction, and confidence limits when estimating deviations and spectral densities from a finite dat

The annexes also cover translation between the frequency domain and time domain instability measures, examples on how to calculate the time-domain measures of frequency fluctuations, and an extensive bibliography of the relevant literature.

A device shall be characterized by a plot of L(f) versus Fourier frequency f. In some applications, providing L(f) versus discrete values of Fourier frequency is sufficient. (See Annex A and Annex B for further discussion).
