11 (suite The instability of the maser during each dead times gives an estimate of the uncertainty related to each idle period in the measurement. The knowledge of the instability of the maser is carried out starting from measurements of phase variations every hour, compared to the second maser of the laboratory. After having withdrawn the linear slope of regression obtained by least squares, one plots the curve of the phase variations between masers. One uses the Time Allan Deviation TVAR to estimate the stability of x(h805 H816) 5 0 phase data x(maser805maser816) linear drift removed TVAR x k (Maser805Maser816) /ns MJD x(maser805 Maser 816) from 9 January MJD until 5 February 004 MJD slope removed Stability Temporal of the phase variations between Maser 805 and Maser 816 of January 9 MJD up to February MJD
