MAN
metropolitan-area network; an area network for public broadband traffic
 

Mbit
Megabit
 

Mbps
Mega bits-per-second
 

MCFRS
Magnetron Cavity Frequency Rubidium Standard
 

Mean Solar
Mean Solar Time is simply apparent solar time corrected for the effects of orbital eccentricity and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the ecliptic plane; that is, corrected by the equation of time which is defined as the hour angle of the true Sun minus the hour angle of the mean Sun
 

Mechanical frequency adjustment
The range in parts per million, both above and below the center frequency to which the oscillator can be tuned by an internal or external trimmer
 

MHz
MegaHertz
 

Modified Julian Day (MJD)
Modified Julian Day (MJD): Equal to the Julian day. Shifted so its origin occurs at midnight on 17 November 1858. The MJD differs from the Julian date by exactly 2 400 000.5 days^.
 

Modulation
A term referring to the ability of a VCXO to be voltage controlled using a time-varying signal.
 

Modulation bandwidth
See modulation frequency response.
 

Modulation frequency response
The range of frequencies over which the modulation signal produces frequency variations of the same magnitude of Hz/volt. It can be measured by observing the sidebands produced by the modulation to be of fixed amplitude within 3 dB
 

Modulation range
The point at which the frequency deviation of the oscillators tuning decreases to 70.7% of its d.c. value while being modulated.
 

ms
millisecond
 

MTBF
Mean Time Between Failure
 

MTIE
Maximum Time Interval Error
 

MTTR
Mean Time To Repair
