I've been tasked (or was it I was volunteered?) to do some basic design & definition work on an ultra-stable master frequency system for a proposed instrument that is currently planned to be in an Earth-trailing orbit. Given the first order accuracy requirement of 1 part in 1E-10, my first thought was to grab the GPS timing signal.
Sorry for the newbie questions here: a) Do all satellites in the constellation broadcast a signal into space (as opposed to, say, bouncing off some ionospheric boundary layer); and b) is there some website/technical paper describing expected signal strength for these space-radiated signals? Again, apologies to all for the Newbie Q's. Hopefully this will be a fun topic of discussion Thanks Karl _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
