We present test results for a short-term frequency standard, 40K Compensated Sapphire Oscillator (CSO). Included are measured resonator Q values, cryocooler vibration data, silver spacer construction process, and copper wall sensitivity. The 40K CSO design goals are a fiequency stability of lxlO-I4 (1 second I z I 100 seconds), a year or more continuous operation, and a compact rack-mount configuration. The 40K CSO[ 11 bridges the gap of two previous technology 10K CSO[2] and 77K CSO [3]. In particular, the 10K CSO incorporated a GiffordMcMahon type of cryocooler with no cryogens, while the 77K CSO developed thermo-mechanical compensation operating at 80 K. The 40K CSO can serve as an ndependent cscillator or as a "slaved local oscillator controlled by atomic standards like Hg ion trap, embling their inherent performance.
