Review of available synchronization and time distribution techniques

The methods of synchronizing precision clocks will be reviewed placing particular attention to the simpler techniques, their accuracies, and the approximate cost of equipment. The more exotic methods of synchronization are discussed in lesser detail. The synchronization techniques that will be covered will include satellite dissemination, communication and navigation transmissions via VLF, LF, HF, UHF and microwave as well as commercial and armed forces television. Portable clock trips will also be discussed.

Utilization of FSK communications for time

The method of time control at a radio station for time signal transmission using frequency shift keying, is discussed. Methods for extracting a recovered clock at the receiver are described. Results of a test involving the methods of processing time signals are presented. The requirements for adapting Precise Time and Time Interval control to a communications system are analyzed. A method for reducing the time required for synchronization or identification of messages and the fallout from the communication system to passive timekeeping users are reported.
