GPS Signal Integrity Dependencies on Atomic Clocks

Abstract

The problem of signal integrity for GPS satellites is discussed. In particular, there is a need for characterizing peak deviation of GPS clocks from prediction. Results from a preliminary study of two GPS clocks tested on the ground show that the distribution of peak deviations from prediction cannot be assumed to be Gaussian.
