Some Implications of Reciprocity for Two-Way Clock Synchronization

James L. Jespersen

Abstract:	Two common methods for synchronizing remote clocks are called one-way and two-way. Both of these methods, when operated in the traditional fashion are subject to a number of difficulties related to propagation perturbances. This paper points out however, that under certain circumstances, these difficulties can be circumvented for the two-way scheme. This possibility is explored theoretically, in some detail, with respect to the Loran-C navigation system.
