A cesium oscillator includes a cesium beam tube, and an oscillator circuit which generates an oscillation signal of a frequency to be supplied to the cesium beam tube. A frequency control circuit including a sweep circuit and a feedback loop circuit continuously varies the frequency of the oscillation signal. The frequency of the oscillation signal is continuously varied two times when the frequency of the oscillation signal is to be adjusted. A hold circuit holds the highest signal level of the resonance signal supplied from the cesium beam tube when the frequency control circuit continuously varies the frequency of the oscillation signal first. A control circuit controls the frequency control circuit so as to stop continuously varying the frequency when a signal level of the resonance signal obtained by continuously varying the frequency of the oscillation signal by the frequency control circuit for the second time becomes equal to the highest signal level held by the hold circuit. |
