GPS Moving Vehicle Experiment

Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in the development of timing systems for remote locations, had a technical requirement for a Y code (SA/AS) GPS precise time transfer receiver (TTR) which could be used both in a stationary mode or mobile mode. A contract was awarded to the Stanford Telecommunication Corporation (STEL) to build such a device. The Eastern Range (ER) also had a requirement for such a receiver and entered into the contract with NRL for the procurement of additional receivers. The Moving Vehicle Experiment (MVE) described in this paper is the first in situ test of the STEL Model 5401C Time Transfer System in both stationary and mobile operation.
