Abstract
Over the past 50 years, Allan variance and its modifications have been developed for characterizing the instabilities in precision clocks and oscillators. These instabilities are often modeled by non-stationary processes, and these variances have been shown to be efficient descriptors of these processes. The time-domain and frequency-domain relationships are shown along with the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed variances. These variances are also shown to be useful elsewhere, as in navigation.
