Description
Summary:The authors discuss the advantages of broadcasting time from a satellite over the more traditional ground based methods such as short wave and low frequency standard time and frequency broadcasts. The authors describe several one way satellite time services currently operational and discuss, in particular, a broadcast service using the Indian domestic satellite INSAT. The signal format, transmitting and receiving setups, and the methods for satellite position prediction are described in detail for the INSAT broadcast. Some typical results of time and frequency calibration are also discussed.< >
