Earth Station Errors in Two-Way Time and Frequency Transfer
We have investigated the earth station errors in two-way time transfer. A 3.7-m earth station and a very small aperture terminal earth station were used in these experiments along with a transponder located on a mountain about 10 km away. The temperature coefficient of the receive delay for the 3.7 m NIST earth station was ( 150 30) ps/K, and the temperature coefficient for the transmit delay w...
متن کاملCooperative Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Block Codes over a MIMO-OFDM Frequency Selective Channel
In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...
متن کاملLow-cost monitoring of the wavelength difference of two transmitters for two-way time transfer over optical fibre
Accurate time transfer is routinely performed using GPS, however an order of magnitude better accuracy can be achieved when signal transfer over optical fibres is used (e.g., in [1], fibre transfer over 73 km with <100 ps precision was achieved as compared to <700 ps for the GPS-based system). Unfortunately, the propagation delay through an optical fibre changes due to temperature variation. Th...
متن کاملTime and Frequency Transfer in Optical Fibers
The development towards more services in the digital domain, based on computers and server logs at different locations and in different networks, increases the need for high precision time indication. Even though GPS can support this with sufficient precision, many users do not have access to outdoor antennas. Furthermore, there is vulnerability in the weak radio-transmission from the satellite...
متن کاملResearch in Free Space Optical Data Transfer
In this paper, a review of the progress and initiatives in free space optical data transfer and communications at the Naval Research Laboratory is presented. NRL has been investing in research and development in optical communications and laser ranging, both conventional, and advanced. Efforts include developing amplifiers and components for lasers to be used in long range, one-way and retro-re...
