Leading the way in the development of new technologies
At 20:59 on April 25, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the Long March-2F Yao-18 carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft was successfully launched. The 10th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "10th Institute") not only built a "lifeline" for the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft and rocket, equipped with "sharp eyes", but also achieved an accurate "time benchmark" for the launch mission.
A high-precision timing system is the key to time synchronization. Among them, atomic clocks are crucial. As the saying goes, "the slightest difference is a thousand miles," the success of guided weapons and the orbital launch of satellite rockets are all determined by this small atomic clock. An accurate atomic clock, with an accuracy of 1 second in 3,000 years, can achieve "precise synchronization" for scattered user equipment.
Since 2000, the mainland has gradually realized the importance of building its own independent time-frequency system, and the national time-frequency system based on Beidou timing has been officially put on the agenda, and 10 institutes have participated in it.
As the only listing platform under the ten institutes, Chengdu Tianao Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tianao Electronics") was formally established in January 2004 and IPO listed in 2018. At present, it is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, production and sales of time and frequency products and Beidou satellite application products.
Time-frequency products include frequency series products and time synchronization series products. Among them, the frequency series products generate and process frequency signals to generate various frequency signals required by electronic equipment and systems, and the time synchronization series products provide unified time and frequency signals for various application systems by receiving, generating, maintaining and transmitting standard time and frequency signals. In the middle and upper reaches of the time-frequency industry chain, it includes atomic clocks, crystal devices, frequency components and equipment. Downstream, in addition to playing a role in national defense science and technology fields such as aerospace and satellite navigation, it is mainly used in national economic fields such as communications, electric power, transportation and the Internet of Things.
Atomic clocks are the products that can best represent technical strength in the field of time and frequency, and belong to the field of high-end manufacturing, with high technical barriers. At present, Tianao Electronics' atomic clock products have covered three mainstream categories: rubidium atomic clocks, cesium atomic clocks, and CPT atomic clocks.
In 2018, Tianao Electronics displayed the "Laser Small Cesium Atomic Clock TA1000" at the Industry Fair, which is the first cesium atomic clock product in mainland China and the first laser small cesium atomic clock product in the world, with a volume equivalent to a computer host, and its technical indicators are also at the international leading level. In the first half of 2023, Tianao Electronics' miniaturized spaceborne rubidium atomic clock will be matched with low-orbit commercial satellite projects, and at the same time, its chip atomic clock has taken the lead in realizing localized small-batch application in the field of underwater resource exploration.
At present, Tianao Electronics' time synchronization products are mainly used in aerospace, satellite navigation, military and civilian communications and national defense equipment, and have made important contributions to the construction of major projects in the mainland.
