Progress on Two-way Satellite Time Transfer using DPN Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of dual pseudo-random noise (DPN) signals for two-way satellite time and frequency transfer (TWSTFT) improves the time transfer precision such that it is approximately one order of magnitude better than that of conventional TWSTFT. The interference between the transmission signals must be considered to further improve the time transfer precision because the DPN signal uses very narrowband pseudo-random noise (PRN) codes. We investigated the interference noise between the transmission signals, and propose an alternative signal scheme to reduce the interference noise.

Time and frequency distribution using satellites
I will discuss how time and frequency information can be distributed using satellites. I will focus on using the signals transmitted by the US global positioning system satellites, but I will also discuss other satellite-based systems such as the Russian GLONASS system, the proposed European Galileo System and two-way satellite time transfer, which uses active ground stations that communicate w...
متن کاملIncreasing Accuracy of Combined GPS and GLONASS Positioning using Fuzzy Kalman Filter
In this paper, combined GPS and GLONASS positioning systems are discussed and some solutions have been proposed to improve the accuracy of navigation. Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) is able to provide position, velocity and time with respect to coordinated universal time. GNSS positioning is based on received satellite signals, so its performance is highly dependent on the quality of...

The NBS Boulder Laboratory is in the process of assembling a very high accuracy time transfer system. The system includes a 6.1 meter Ku-band satellite earth station, two transportable earth stations each with a 1.8 meter dish, and commercial modems designed for two-way timing. Elements of the facilities are described in this paper. High-accuracy timing with this equipment using the two-way tim...
متن کاملEffect of atmospheric anisoplanatism on earth-to-satellite time transfer over laser communication links.
The need for an accurate time reference on orbiting platforms motivates study of time transfer via free-space optical communication links. The impact of atmospheric turbulence on earth-to-satellite optical time transfer has not been fully characterized, however. We analyze limits to two-way laser time transfer accuracy posed by anisoplanatic non-reciprocity between uplink and downlink. We show ...
متن کاملThe effect of intrahippocampal injection of diarylpropionitrile, a selective estrogen receptor-beta agonist, on passive avoidance learning
Introduction: Neurohormones like testosterone and estradiol have an important role in learning and memory. The hippocampus is essentially involved in learning and memory, and is known to be a target for estradiol actions. Estrogen receptors (ERs) are highly expressed in CA1 of rat hippocampus, and mediate the effects of estrogen on learning and memory. Estradiol receptor belong to a family ...
