Experimental Analysis of Frequency Transfer Uncertainty

Author(s)

Thomas E. Parker, Gianna Panfilo

Abstract

An experimental analysis of frequency transfer uncertainty is carried out. In situations where more than one transfer techniques are available a first difference statistic is used to determine the type and level of the transfer noise for transfer methods such as common-view GPS, carrier-phase GPS, and two-way time transfer. Frequency transfer uncertainties approaching 1x10-16 at 30 days are possible. A method for estimating the frequency transfer uncertainty in situations were only one transfer technique is available is also examined.
