In this case the timing rcvrs are located all with in a 20km radius with fixed known surveyed locations. The problem is GPS jamming that happens at random times. So one "what if" idea is to use a WAAS enabled rcvr and a yet to be selected parabolic antenna to point at a given WAAS sat. The concept is to give all rcvrs a single common view for critcal timing use in a comm system.
The ultimate goal is to try and reduce the number of times when full sky view GPS antennas are victims of GPS band interference. This is only a half-baked idea of mine (in my day-job) but wanted Time Nuts feedback to see if it has any merit at all. BTW, the system has Rb for hold-over when there are problems but the frequent system error alarms indicating hold-over events is what I/we would like to reduce. New SNMP traps could mask off the events, but being an RF guy.....I was thinking about a HW solution. :- ) -Brian, WA1ZMS/4 iPhone On Jan 7, 2014, at 11:05 PM, Magnus Danielson <[email protected]> wrote: > Brian, > > On 2014-01-08 02:25, Brian, WA1ZMS wrote: >> Hypothetical question.... >> For a given set of GPS timing grade receivers at multiple locations, is >> there any advantage by limiting allowable SVN numbers to only be the WAAS >> satellites? > > Well, if you do common view GPS comparision and is not into monitoring > observables separately (which is recommended), then there is some use for it, > as you configure the WAAS acceptance statically and only need to update it > once a new bird becomes available or one disappears.
