The seminar's topics begin with an introduction to time and frequency concepts such as the history of timekeeping, atomic clocks, dissemination of time, oscillator fundamentals, and noise. See agenda . This seminar is for mathematicians, scientists, engineers, laboratory technicians, educators, managers, and planners involved in the use of time and frequency systems. It presents techniques related to the analysis and evaluation of oscillators and frequency standards. It is particularly appropriate for those who are or might be responsible for certification of oscillator performance at levels where traceability to national standards is a useful part of this certification.
