Problems solved by technology

[0005] The signal-to-noise ratio of the rubidium atomic frequency standard is measured by an external frequency sweeper, recorder and data processing device. On the one hand, the above-mentioned instruments need to be installed when measuring the signal-to-noise ratio, which makes the measurement process too complicated; at the same time, the existing rubidium atomic frequency standard Various functional modules are often integrated together, it is difficult to install additional equipment, and the circuit needs to be redesigned; on the other hand, the existing technology only calculates the signal-to-noise ratio based on the quantum correction voltage, and the required parameters in the signal-to-noise ratio formula The absorption factor is an estimated value, which leads to the inaccurate signal-to-noise ratio of the calculated rubidium atomic frequency standard
