Abstract: The Gardiner's phonon presented for a particle-number conserving approximation method to describe the dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condesation (BEC) (C.W. Gardiner, Phys. Rev. A 56, 1414 (1997)) is shown to be a physical realization of the q-deformed boson, which was abstractly developed in quantum group theory. On this observation, the coherent output of BEC atoms driven by a radio frequency (r.f) field is analyzed in the viewpoint of a q-deformed Fock space. It is illustrated that the q-deformation of bosonic commutation relation corresponds to the non-ideal BEC with the finite particle number N of condensated atoms. Up to order 1/N, the coherent output state of the untrapped atoms minimizes the uncertainty relation like a coherent state does in the ideal case of BEC that N approaches infinity or q=12/N approaches one.
