Abstract

Nowadays, more and more dual-frequency, multichannel receivers are used in GPS time and frequency transfer applications. Instead of using the modeled ionosphere delay correction or using the IGS ionospheric map, we can obtain the ionosphere delay corrections from the receivers' dual-frequency measurements. For the time and frequency transfer based on the pseudo-range measurements (code-based GPS time and frequency transfer), the CGGTTS format data are used for remote clock comparisons. All of the delays in measuring the difference between a local clock and GPS time have to be calibrated for time transfer applications. If the receiver delay for the dual-frequency measurements is not calibrated or the delays are changed, the measured ionosphere delay corrections will introduce error in the time transfer results. In this paper, we study the measured ionosphere delay correction for the code-based GPS time transfer.
