  • Abstract
    We present and discuss the dynamic Allan variance, a measure of the time-varying stability of an atomic clock. First, the dynamic Allan variance is mathematically defined, then its behavior is extensively tested on simulated and experimental data. The results prove the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed new tool.
