- Design of an improved version of the laboratory Dual-Mixer Time-Difference Multiplication (DMTDM) comparator for ultrasensitive short-term frequency stability measurement. The new comparator, IPE4, will enhance the measurement and calibration capabilities of the DMTDM system compared with the previously built IPE3 comparator. It will have comparable target background instability <7x10-15 at 1 s (≈25 Hz bandwidth) and will allow switching between 5 MHz and 10 MHz input frequency.
- Analysis of the influence of the temperature to the GPS receiver chain used for evaluation of the national time scale UTC(TP).
