Real-Time Time and Frequency Transfer Using GPS Carrier Phase Observations
ABSTRACT
A client-server based data communication scheme was developed in order to establish a permanent and dynamic real-time
GPS network for relative time and frequency transfer. The Kalman- filter-based real-time processor uses station pairwise
common-view phase observations for estimating the receiver clock and tropospheric parameters. Orbit determination is based
on real-time broadcast ephemerides and station coordinates are fixed and known. Real-time estimates were compared with
clock solutions from postprocessed data resulting in standard deviation values in the order of 50 ps for short baselines.
