Applications of Microfabricated Atomic Clocks<br />

• Size (1 cm 3 )<br />

• Power (30 mW)<br />

Integration in portable,<br />

battery-operated devices<br />

• Precise timing: higher-per<strong>for</strong>mance, more reliable operation<br />

Key application areas:<br />

• Global positioning and navigation (GPS)<br />

• Faster acquisition time<br />

• More precise altitude determination<br />

• Direct P(Y)/M code acquisition → anti-jam capability<br />

• <strong>Position</strong> solution with < 4 satellites visible<br />

• Wireless communications, network synchronization<br />

• Fewer dropped cell phone calls<br />

• Avoidance of data accumulation<br />

• Data logging, seismology, remote sensors…<br />

• Others we don’t even know about
