Abstract
The pioneering works of W. H. Hartwig (Ref. 1), S. R. Stein and J. Turneaure (Ref. 2), J. J. Jimenez and A. Septier (Ref. 3), and others (Ref. 4) have shown the possibility of using a superconducting cavity to stabilize a microwave oscillator. The achievement of cavity Qs of the order of 10! has made possible the realization of frequency standards with performance which could surpass that of the hydrogen maser. The present study explores the possibility of integrating a superconducting cavity with a traveling wave maser to obtain a frequency standard with very high spectral purity.
