The Development of Multi-Channel GPS Receivers at the CSIR - National Metrology Laboratory

Abstract

The primary responsibility of the Time and Frequency laboratory of the CSIR-National Metrology Laboratory (CSIR-NML) is the maintenance of the South African time scale. To perform this duty, the highest level of accuracy in time transfer is required. To this end a multi-channel GPS receiver was developed in the Time and Frequency Laboratory, as a replacement for the NBS-type single-channel receivers. This paper discusses the development of this Motorola-based GFS receiver.
