6. Frequency Measurement. Use of the 599J/K
receiver for
frequency calibration of a
local standard is simple and straightforward. Any relative frequency error between the
local frequency standard and the received VLF carrier signal is observable as a phase
drift on the MICROSECONDS digital counter and on the strip chart recorder. The rate
of this phase drift can be directly interpreted as a fractional frequency error (FFE) in
the local standard. The FFE for observed phase changes over various elapsed time
intervals can be obtained using the conversion factors listed below:
