MIFTTI is a modular time and frequency subsystem that includes built-in intelligence to improve its performance. Modularity is used to achieve maximum configuration flexibility. This work describes the continuing research on the MIFTTI subsystem. The first year of this 30-month program has concentrated on defining the architecture and packaging concepts of the MIFTTI subsystem, design of the basic crystal oscillator and rubidium frequency references, and development of the basic control software. The results are encouraging, and show the potential for significant improvements in the capabilities of military time and frequency subsystems by the incorporation of these concepts.<>

Improvements in the design and realization of hardened oscillators are proposed to make the piezoelectric equipment insensitive to mechanical or acoustic disturbances. Following extensive experimentation, the following conclusions were reached: the improvement of g sensitivity is a long and expensive process; for a given industrial state of the art, it is preferable to preserve the phase noise characteristics during vibrations by using mechanical absorber structures such as a filter; in order to obtain the same results without absorbers, g sensitivity of some 1.10/sup -12//g would be necessary. However, very close to the carrier frequency, the phase noise during vibrations depends directly on the g sensitivity of the resonator, for either quartz or lithium tantalate.<>

In some crystals, various types of defects are observed which can limit the performances of piezoelectric devices. Two distinct modes of water incorporation have been recognized, namely molecular water (tiny fluid inclusions with diameters down to 30 AA) and isolated point defects like the so-called 4H/sub Si/ defects. The equilibrium concentration of this latter type of defects is extremely low at the usual T and P conditions of growth, but a supersaturation can occur for relatively large growth rates. The equilibrium concentration was determined as a function of T and P, and the diffusivity coefficient of the corresponding water species as a function of temperature was tentatively estimated.<>

The system described uses microcomputer-controlled compensation wherein the correction is implemented by adding a computed offset frequency to the output of a stable oscillator. Temperature sensing is done by the use of a dual-mode oscillator system using two C-modes of an SC-cut crystal, which are combined to produce a temperature-sensitive difference frequency. System accuracies of +or-20 p.p.b. have been achieved over a temperature range of -55 degrees C to +85 degrees C.<>

The design and performance are reported of an oscillator incorporating 16 PIN diode switch-selectable, fifth-overtone crystals operating in the 100-MHz range. A lumped-element, quarter-wavelength line provides a means for absorption of the printed wiring board track connections and switch parasitic reactances for the 15 switched-off crystals. PIN (rather than Schottky) diodes were utilized because they have lower off-state capacitance and PIN diode use has no measurable degrading influence on oscillator signal phase noise performance. Oscillator flicker of frequency noise is characterized by Sy(100 Hz)=3*10/sup -25/ and is due to short-term instability in the resonators themselves. The pulse noise floor level is -169 dB/Hz. Using modest levels of excess gain, interchannel frequency switching time is on the order of 2 ms, compared to 9-ms turn-on time.<>
