Abstract :
A Hydrogen Maser has been developed by GILLAM-FEI and IPNAS University of Liège (Belgium) under Plan Marshall - SKYWIN-TELECOM. The construction of the maser is the first effort in a program of development of atomic clocks based on hydrogen maser technology initiated in Region Wallonne de Belgique. A first evaluation of the Belgium Atomic Hydrogen Maser (Wally One) was performed between October 2011-March 2012. For the initial settings of the maser parameters a full determination of the maser characteristics was initiated.
