Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of time synchronization, and relates to a time synchronization device, in particular to a highly reliable pulsar time synchronization device. Background technique [0002] A pulsar is a neutron star with high-speed rotation, its rotation period is stable, and it is not damaged by human interference, so it is a natural time reference source. Pulsars have good visibility far away from the solar system and cover a wide range. They are used in various low-earth orbits, medium-high orbits and deep space exploration orbits. [0003] During the mission execution of autonomous navigation satellites, the satellite-borne atomic clocks will drift in frequency over time, and high-precision time and frequency signals are the prerequisite for high-precision orbit determination, so high-precision time synchronization devices are essential for autonomous navigation satellites. has a very important role. [0004] At presen...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the time synchronization technology based on X-ray pulsars is still in its infancy, and there is no mature technical solution in China. Aiming at this problem, the present invention designs a time synchronization device based on pulsars. The periodic pulse signal detected by the detector corrects the space-borne rubidium atom, so that the space-borne atomic clock maintains a high accuracy
