Early Results From a Prototype VLBI Clock Monitoring System

T. P. Yunck, G.A. Madrid

Abstract:	Four sets of experiments were conducted to measure the relative epoch offsets between atomic clocks in California, Australia, and Spain by means of very long-baseline interferometry (VLBI). The experiments were conducted using an incomplete R&D VLBT system with a number of inherent limitations. However, the results give us confidence that our measurement objective of epoch offset to 10 nanoseconds will be met using the carefully calibrated system to begin regular operation next year.
