Abstract
A modular programmable software defined atomic clock system includes an oscillator configured to output a periodic, oscillating electrical signal, an atomic clock physics package system, and a programmable logic controller. The atomic clock physics package system is configured to generate a reference signal based on detected electron spin transitions between two hyperfine energy levels in atoms stored in the atomic clock physics package system. The programmable logic controller is coupled to the oscillator and the atomic clock physics package system. The programmable logic controller is configured to: detect an error signal based on the generated reference signal and the periodic, oscillating electrical signal; adjust the periodic, oscillating electrical signal based on the detected error signal; and generate and output one or more output signals in one or more frequencies from the adjusted periodic, oscillating electrical signal.
