Time transfer through GPS
نویسنده
چکیده
Commonly available GPS receivers have, these days, hardware outputs of 1 pps. These receivers normally have the time accuracy within 100 ns. But if these are not calibrated in advance, they cannot be recommended for precise on-line applications. However, common view mode GPS time transfer using single satellite is in use for the generation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by ensembling more than 40 clocks scattered all over the world. Use of carrier phase in common view mode is being explored. The initial results are quite encouraging. The paper reviews the current status of these time transfer techniques via GPS.

A Gps Receiver Designed for Carrier-phase Time Transfer
The development of time transfer techniques using GPS carrier-phase observations promises the capability to deliver sub-nanosecond time transfer capabilities. Testing to date has shown that conventional GPS receivers introduce significant time offset in the carrier phase. NAVSYS have developed a GPS receiver capable of making observations with high phase stability. Test data is presented in thi...

متن کاملA Study of GPS Carrier-Phase Time Transfer Noise Based on NIST GPS Receivers
To do a better time comparison between high-precision clocks (such as a Cesium-fountain clock and Hydrogen-maser clock), we want to study and eventually lower the GPS carrier-phase time transfer noise. The GPS carrier-phase time transfer noise comes from four sources: GPS satellite, GPS signal path, ground receiving equipment (receiver and antenna), and data-processing algorithm. This paper foc...
