Abstract
The authors have developed a miniature atomic clock (MAC) for applications requiring atomic timing accuracy in portable battery-powered applications. Recently, we have completed a pre-production build of 10 devices in order to evaluate unit-to-unit performance variations and to gain statistical confidence in the performance specifications, environmental sensitivity, and manufacturability.
