UTC Dissemination to the Real-Time User

Abstract

This paper concludes the tutorial session on the delivery of UTC to the real-time user. The first paper of the session describes the technical problems and other issues that impede the ability of users to achieve synchronization and syntonization. The next four papers describe the activities of several national and international oganizations that provide critical time and frequency services. These papers address many of the questions, explain the roles of the organizations and describe some of the improvements that the future may bring. This paper summarizes the session. It synthesizes the individual presentations to provide an overall assessment of how well the real-time user can perform synchronization and syntonization using the existing infrastructure. Finally, if highlights areas where improvements can be made by providing additional information or services.
