An analysis to determine the complex permittivity of arsenic-doped silicon wafer at 2.45 GHz is presented based on closed-form analytical expressions for cylindrical symmetry. Experimental results in support with the numerical analysis and simulation results are also presented. This analysis will further help analyze the capacitive heating of doped and undoped silicon wafer at microwave frequency; hence, this paper is a precursor to elucidation of capacitive heating of silicon substrates placed between susceptors. This study indicates that when the dopant is added to the silicon the loss tangent decreases with increase in concentration but upon annealing the loss tangent becomes constant with respect to concentration of the dopant.

We study and compare the pressure sensitivities of different area Rayleigh Lamb wave (RL) mode (S1 mode) and FBAR resonators. The studied RL-mode and FBAR resonators operate at 785MHz and 628MHz respectively. The resonators are fabricated on a released membrane with AlN as the piezoelectric layer. The resonators are hermetically sealed and the manufacturing process uses standard micromachining techniques throughout. The devices exhibit a pressure sensitivity over a range of 15 - 80psi, suitable for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). The sensitivities of different area resonators are compared.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Self-Focusing post-processing techniques can be used for faster higher precision Phase Noise and Allan Variance measurement on more than one signal component at a time. Software Radio (SDR) techniques [1, 2] are used to sample, acquire decimate and process the signals, on a continuous basis, for record lengths of up to a few days and with resolution bandwidths down to a few milliHerz.

An experimental fiber link is being established between SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden in Borås and Chalmers University of Gothenburg in Sweden. The one way fiber length is about 60 km and implemented in SUNET (Swedish University Network). The aim of the project is to evaluate the signal quality when sending a stable optical frequency utilizing a wavelength in a DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system fiber pair. The experiment uses a channel in the DWDM with the wavelength of 1542.14 nm. This wavelength is within the C band and is therefore compatible with common Erbium doped amplifiers in this network. Another aim of the system is to be ultra-stable which corresponds to a stability of 1×10-13 for τ = 1 s as well as providing the ability to distribute monitored ultra-stable frequency with a future traceability to UTC (SP) (National realization of Universal Time Coordinated within Sweden) to multiple users within the network. Measurements of an optical frequency transfer using a fiber-link based on unidirectional light signals in parallel fibers have shown promising results in a free-running setup and in a lab environment. The fractional frequency stability, analyzed as the Overlapping Allan deviation, is approximately 3×10-13 at τ = 10 s and almost 1×10-14 at 105 s.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is commonly utilized to synchronize computer clocks in packet-switched, wide area networks (WANs) such as the public Internet. The delay asymmetry in WANs, often due to inconsistent routing and/or bandwidth saturation, is usually the dominant source of error. It typically limits NTP time transfer uncertainty to about one millisecond. This paper discusses the uncertainty of NTP time transfer when network asymmetry is largely eliminated. We performed NTP measurements over a local area network (LAN) when both the server and client are referenced to a common clock. Three variations of a LAN are tested, including a direct connection between the server and client with an Ethernet crossover cable. The elimination of network asymmetry reveals other uncertainty sources that serve as practical limitations for NTP time transfer, including client instability, asymmetry in network interface cards, and server instability.

Differential comparisons of distant optical clocks with uncertainties in the 10-18 level linked by phase-stabilized optical fibers can be used to probe the Geoid potential at the centimeter sensitivity. Here, we present the realization and characterization of a coherent optical link that will enable gravitational potential measurements on a baseline of 90km and at 1000m of difference in altitude. This is a proof-of-principle experiment that aims at exploring extensive interconnections between geodesy and frequency metrology.

We propose a round-trip fiber-optic time transfer scheme over single optical fiber utilizing the same wavelength in both directions. It can suppress the impact of the Rayleigh backscattering and the dispersion-induced symmetric deviation over fiber link by using bidirectional time division multiplexing (TDM) mechanism. A 200 km time transfer over single optical fiber with identical optical wavelength in both directions is demonstrated. The measured stabilities in terms of TDEV are less than 40ps/s and 10ps/d, respectively. The uncertainty induced by uncalibrated fiber links up to 200km is less than 27 ps, which is mainly limited by the performance of used time interval counters.
