Abstract: A time standard assembly for a global positioning system (GPS), such as for a space vehicle, has a natural-frequency atomic frequency standard (NAFS) which is operated at its natural resonant frequency in order to output an upset-proof natural frequency signal. The assembly includes a frequency synthesizer unit (FSU) and microprocessor data unit (MDU) which are hardened by combining them together and enclosing them in one integral unit which is shielded from the electromagnetic pulse of an upset event. Multiply redundant NAFS, FSUs, and MDUs are used to improve reliability and for maintaining units on-line and in standby. A dithered clock frequency signal is generated by the FSU according to a dither algorithm performed by the MDU, and the MDU generates encoded clock data using the dithered clock frequency signal. The MDU includes an upset recovery mechanism for resetting its registers and counters using the upset-proof natural frequency signal from the NAFS upon detecting the occurrence of an upset event.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a polarization independent optical switch for selectively switching an optical signal from at least one input port to a preselected one of a plurality of different output ports. The optical switch operates to transmit all of the optical signal from an input port to a predetermined one of the output ports without first segmenting the optical signal into two polarizations.
