A rubidium oscillator is an atomic frequency source that uses the transition of rubidium atoms as its reference. It is far more stable than an OCXO and offers a very long holdover.

The trade-off is higher cost and power consumption. Used where the time must stay accurate even after a long loss of GNSS.
