  • Abstract
    In discussing the utilisation and application of atomic frequency standards to conventional hyperbolic or phase comparison position fixing systems, a rudimentary knowledge of the positioning system´s operation and the specifications of the frequency standard selected for the experiment must first be appreciated. The paper discusses the basic position fixing system, the frequency standard and their subsequent integration and application to precise positioning in offshore activities.
