Popis: A method is described of stabilizing the frequency of an oscillator by means of the molecular absorptions which occur in the microwave spectrum of some gases. Circuit details are given of an apparatus used with ammonia at wavelengths near 1.25 cm, and factors affecting performance are discussed theoretically. An N.P.L. test gave a measured stability figure of ± 6 parts in 107. Possibilities for other wavelengths are considered.
