PRELIMINARY TEST RESULTS OF A TIME DISSEMINATION SYSTEM USING THE VHF TRANSPONDER ON THE ATS 1 SATELLITE.

Abstract

Some preliminary test results are given of a time dissemination experiment using simple ground equipment communicating through ATS 1 satellite VHF transponder. It is demonstrated that an operational system with an accuracy of the order of 10 microseconds should be realizable. (Author)
