Time and frequency transfer
Time and frequency transfer describes mechanisms for comparing measurements of
time and
frequency from one location to another. The technique is commonly used for creating and distributing standard time scales such as
International Atomic Time (TAI).
Examples include:
Simultaneous observation methods:
- Simultaneous carrier phase observation of GPS signals
- Time transfer by simultaneous observation of TV transmissions
- Time transfer by simultaneous observation of radio astronomy signals
Two-way transfer methods:
