A Post-Processed Percival Algorithm for a Free-Running Time Scale and a Comparison With ALGOS and AT1 Algorithms

D. Matsakis

Abstract:	A set of free-running timescaIes is generated using 9 gears of &fa from the USNO clock ensemble. Cesium and maser clock phases and frequencies are characterized by global fits to first- or second-order polynomials, and the timescales are generated from the clocks' detrended frequencies using a variety of weighting functions. These timescales are compared to those generated by USNO's A.1, BIPM's ALGOS and TT98, and NlST's AT1 algorithms from the perspective of algorithm choice and frequency stability.
