摘　要:首先給出時域頻率穩(wěn)定性分析中各種方差的實用計算公式，并在此基礎上分析各種方差特性，總結歸納其適用范圍。分析表明：①阿侖方差是時域頻率穩(wěn)定性分析中最常用的方法，但不能區(qū)分調相白噪聲和調相閃變噪聲；②改進阿侖方差通過相位平滑運算能識別這2種噪聲；③時間方差和時間總方差主要用于描述頻率源的時間波動，主要用于分析調相噪聲；④當頻率漂移項較大或受甚低頻噪聲影響時，哈達瑪系列方差能給出很好的測量特性。[著者文摘]

Then, the characteristics of the variances are analyzed together with a summary of their applications. Comparisons and analysis show the following： （ 1 ） Allan variance is the most common method for analyzing time-domain frequency stability of atomic clocks, but white PM and flicker PM cannot be separated ; （2） Modified Allan variance can separate the two PM noises by phase average operation; （3） Time variance and its total estimator are mainly used for analyzing the time fluctuations of an atomic clock, that is to say, it is mainly used for analyzing PM noises; （4） Hadamard variance provides the preferred statistics in situations when the frequency drift is above the very low frequency noise effect.[著者文摘]
