Handbook of Frequency Stability Analysis NATL INST OF STAND & TECH A111D7 DMIfia? NIST Special Publication 1065 Handbook of Frequency Stability Analysis W.J. Riley Nisr National Institute of Standards and Technology • U.S. Department of Commerce rhe National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology ... needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes, to ensure product reliability ... and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific discoveries." NIST, originally founded as the National Institute of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NlST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80305. Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below.

Barnes (1933-2002), a pioneer in the statistics of frequency standards. James A. Barnes was born in 1933 in Denver, Colorado. He received a Bachelor's degree in engineering physics from the University of Colorado, a Masters degree from Stanford University, and in 1966 a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Colorado. Jim also received an MBA from the University of Denver. After graduating from Stanford, Jim joined the National Institute of Standards, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Jim was the first Chief of the Time and Frequency Division when it was created in 1967 and set the direction for this division in his 15 years of leadership. During his tenure at NIST Jim made many significant contributions to the development of statistical tools for clocks and frequency standards. Also, three primary frequency standards (NBS 4, 5, and 6) were developed under his leadership. While he was division chief, closed-captioning was developed (which received an Emmy award) and the speed of light was measured. Jim received the NBS Silver Medal in 1965 and the Gold Medal in 1975. In 1992, Jim received the I.I. Rabi Award from the IEEE Frequency Control Symposium "for contributions and leadership in the development of the statistical theory, simulation and practical understanding of clock noise, and the application of this understanding to the characterization of precision oscillators and atomic clocks." In 1995, he received the Distinguished PTTI Service Award. Jim was a Fellow of the IEEE. After retiring from NIST in 1982, Jim worked for Austron. Jim Barnes died Sunday, January 13, 2002, in Boulder, Colorado after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease. He was survived by a brother, three children, and two grandchildren.

Ill Preface I have had the great privilege of working in the time and frequency field over the span of my career. I have seen atomic frequency standards shrink from racks of equipment to chip scale, and be manufactured by the tens of thousands, while primary standards and the time dissemination networks that support them have improved by several orders of magnitude. During the same period, significant advances have been made in our ability to measure and analyze the performance of those devices. This Handbook summarizes the techniques of frequency stability analysis, bringing together material that I hope will be useful to the scientists and engineers working in this field. I acknowledge the contributions of many colleagues in the Time and Frequency community who have contributed the analytical tools that are so vital to this field. In particular, I wish to recognize the seminal work of J. A. Barnes and D.W. Allan in establishing the fundamentals at NBS, and D.A. Howe in carrying on that tradition today at NIST. Together with such people as M.A. Weiss and C.A. Greenhall, the techniques of frequency stability analysis have advanced greatly during the last 45 years, supporting the orders-of-magnitude progress made on frequency standards and time dissemination. I especially thank David Howe and the other members of the NIST Time and Frequency Division for their support, encouragement, and review of this Handbook. iv Contents 1 INTRODUCTION 1 2 FREQUENCY STABILITY ANALYSIS 2 2. 1 Background 2 3 DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY 5 3.1.

  • Case Study 21. Lustrum Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme: Phase 2 Authors: Joe Reed, Ted Thomas Main Driver: Flood Risk Management Project Stage: Detailed Design
    Case study 21. Lustrum Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme: Phase 2 Authors: Joe Reed, Ted Thomas Main driver: Flood risk management Project stage: Detailed design Photo 1: Flooding event, September 2012 Project summary: The Lustrum Beck catchment (Map 1) is located in Stockton-on-Tees and is a tributary of the Tees. It has been identified through an ISIS-TUFLOW model that over 150 properties are at risk of flooding in the catchment within 2 main areas: Oxbridge and Browns Bridge. For these sites, the Lustrum Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS) has been split into 2 phases. Phase 1 is well underway and consists of constructing more traditional flood defences in the urban area of the catchment. Phase 2 is currently in the development stage and will involve storing water at a range of scales in the upstream catchment area using natural processes to attenuate water. This case study focuses on Phase 2 in the Lustrum Beck catchment and how natural processes are being incorporated into the scheme to reduce downstream risk. Key facts: The model used identified that a total storage area of around 100,000m³ of storage within the local catchment area could reduce the discharge from the 1 in 100 year return period by 11.5%. This would reduce the peak flow of the 1 in 100 year event to less than 1 in 75 year event. The Lustrum Beck project is the first flood risk management scheme to develop a business case which includes the use of Natural Flood Management (NFM) to successfully attract Flood Defence Grant in Aid (FDGiA) funding to reduce flood risk.

Eventfulness is at least in some of its parameters a hermeneutic, subject-dependent and context-sensitive category indicative of interpretation. Subject-dependency and context-sensitivity do not threaten narratology. Narratology should do more than design clinically sterile, aseptic analytical tools whose purpose is to generate objective descriptions that stand alone and have nothing to do with context and interpretation. Such a narratology would indeed not be very attractive. In the non-empirical humanities in general, there is little merit in the dichotomy between objective description and subjective, context- sensitive interpretation. I will give an example from the field of narratology. An event is a special case of a change of state. But the task of recognizing a change of state is, more often than not, heavily dependent on interpretation, either because the explicit properties of the initial and final states are not equivalent and thus require suppositions to be made if they are to be comparable, or because the dif- ference between the states themselves is not clear.
