Abstract

The operation of a microwave cryogenic sapphire resonator oscillator presenting an exceptional frequency stability for long integration times has been demonstrated. Based on a very simple design the 11.5 GHz oscillator presents a fractional frequency instability lower than 6×10−14 over one day.
