摘要
Atomic clocks axe the core of a navigation system. Since an error in time results in an error in the user localization, it is fundamental that the stability is very high and constant with time. In this paper we discuss the dynamic Allan variance, or DAVAR, a representation of the time-varying stability of an atomic clock. We show by simulation its effectiveness in tracking common nonstationary behaviors of a clock.
