The Making of GST
Step 1: Physical realization of GST(MC) in PTF (following talk)
Step 2: Comparison of GST(MC) with UTC(k)
Step 3: Comparison of UTC(k) / GST(MC) with clocks Ci(k)
Step 4: Calculation of a composite time scale C(GTSP)based on all clocks Ci(k)
Step 5: Prediction of C(GTSP) - UTC
Step 6: Combine Step 5 and Step 2 to determine steering ofGST(MC) to UTC
Step 7: Forward steering parameters to PTF for use in Step 1

TWSTFT
Comparison of the timereadings of the clocks atstations A and B
Quasi-simultaneousexchange of pseudo-randomphase-modulated signalsmodulated on carriers inthe standard communcationbands (Ku- or X-band)
Measurement quantities:Time differences ΔT(A) and ΔT(B), representing the time of arrivalof the signals from B in A (from A in B)
T(A)-T(B) = {ΔT(A) - ΔT(B)} / 2 + corrections
![Page 13: UTC Time Service and T&F Applications Using Galileo ... · UTC Time Service and T&F Applications Using Galileo Andreas Bauch Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050717/5e15168b858dd96ddf06f41b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TWSTFT
Advantages:The time transfer results are practically independent of
•Satellite position and satellite movement•Ionospheric and tropospheric signal delays• Time Comparison Uncertainty < 1 ns • Frequency Transfer Capability 10-15 at tau = 1 day
Disadvantages:expensive hardware at both stations• license for transmission by national regulatory body• transponder lease from satellite operating agency

GNSS Common View
Reception of the GNSSsignal in space at stations1 and 2
Simultaneous comparisonof the time readings of theclocks at stations 1 and 2with the clock in the SV
Correction for thebroadcast time differenceSV_clock – System Time,and signal delays in theionosphere and troposphere
Ground clock difference accessible after exchange of data between stations

GNSS Common View
Advantages of GNSS CV:
•Receive-only technique•Easy to install and to operate•Requires exchange of rather small amount of data
Disadvantages:•One-way signal transmission: propagation delays must bemodelled, models sometimes not sufficiently accurate
•Post-processing required for high accuracy, which leadsto delay in availability

Definition of classes of timing services:
•Services for Galileo
•Services distributing correct time
•Services distributing precise time
![Page 19: UTC Time Service and T&F Applications Using Galileo ... · UTC Time Service and T&F Applications Using Galileo Andreas Bauch Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050717/5e15168b858dd96ddf06f41b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
•The Time Service Provider as developed today is a prototype installation for support of the Galileo GMS during IOV.
•The Concessionaire will stimulate itsconversion to a continuous service, based on service level agreements with UTC(k) laboratories and a TSP legal entity.
•PTB is ready to provide continuous services as this fits to its general mission.
Services for Galileo
![Page 20: UTC Time Service and T&F Applications Using Galileo ... · UTC Time Service and T&F Applications Using Galileo Andreas Bauch Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050717/5e15168b858dd96ddf06f41b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
•The Galileo Time Service Provider can serve as institution which collects and re-distributes time information within Europe also for other applications.
•It may offer calibration and verification services to third parties.
Services not only for Galileo

•Based on the Galileo Signal-in-Space correct time can be generated and distributed
•Application in time stamping authorities, ntp stratum-1 servers
•More ideas expected tomorrow
