Abstract: Technical specific features of the first Russian rubidium frequency standard of a fountain type are described, which are distinct from those of abroad analogues. Test results of separate systems and the metrological characteristics of the standard are presented. The achievable output frequency instability is 4 × 10^-16 per measurement interval of 24 hours and 1 × 10^-16 per 16 days.

Keywords: frequency standard, ultracold atoms, high-vacuum pump, magnetic field formation system, thermostabilisation, longterm instability.
