1996 GPS Time Transfer Performance

Jeffrey D. Crum

Abstract: The requirements for GPS time transfer accuracy are more demanding than ever before. The Operational Controlled Segment has responded providing a consistently accurate signal to the user community. This paper presents a summary of GPS Time Transfer performance for 1996 and offers several theories for the continued improved performance. Refined techniques in the areas of MCS satellite clock estimation and monitor station clack performance assessment are two areas with significant impact to GPS time. As historical perspective, 1995 time transfer performance is compared to the current gear's data.
