The clock uses a rubidium vapor lamp and a glass cell containing rubidium. A voltage-controlled oscillator excites the cell with a 6.8 GHz signal. Rubidium atoms can exist in three states.

These tiny atomic clocks do not conduct any heat to the surrounding circuitry. This thermal damping is achieved by isolating the CSAC from the surrounding electronics by long, thin “tethers.” These ...
