Evaluation of Carrier-Phase GNSS Timing Receivers for UTC/TAI Applications

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA483441 | Open PDF

Abstract:

USNO evaluated several carrier-phase GNSS timing receivers to determine their suitability to support UTCTAI applications. These receivers were subjected to thermal testing, power cycle retrace testing, and long-term stability evaluation. The goal is to identify candidate replacement receivers for the USNO to be used for UTCTAI applications, including the common-view technique for both GPS and GLONASS monitoring. Test results are reported in this paper.
