It can test and In this article, the BPL broadcasting clock is tested and its evaluate the atomic clock in different location through the performance is evaluated through comparison with UTC technology of remote time comparison. In the BPL system, (NTSC) using the remote time comparison method. time-frequency standard is generated by the cesium atomic clock whose performance has a direct impact on time service II. THE BASIC CRITERIA FOR TESTING AND EVALUATION precision. In addition, according to the international In the time and frequency measurement, the frequency telecommunications union (ITU) requirement, broadcasting standard or clock to be measured is called the device under clock is needed to keep to the UTC within 100ns. In this paper, the testing criteria, data collection, processing method, test. The measurement is a process to compare the device performance evaluation parameter and calculation model are under test and the standard (or reference), two elements must studied. Relying on the high-performance time standard of be paid attention to as follows: NTSC and the GPS CV link, the BPL broadcasting clock testing A. Reference selection and evaluation system is set up, the time difference of broadcasting clock and UTC (NTSC) is got, and the time The accuracy of the reference must be at least 3 times difference of broadcasting clock and UTC is got through the higher than the object measured; one order of magnitude is international time comparison link of NTSC. According to the the best. all kinds of data, the performance of broadcasting clock is B. Measurement method selection evaluated, the results shows that the broadcasting clock stability reach to the 3.3e-14 a day, 1.7e-14 in 5 days, the time Some time comparison method is needed to measure the deviation to UTC is within 20ns. object under test, the error of the time comparison links must be less than the object being measured 3 times.

The REFGPS in the file outputted by GPS If there are two GPS CV receiver in the ground station A receiver is the time difference of CLOCK (BPL) and satellite and B with precise coordinates. The two stations observe the i 、UTC (NTSC) and satellite i, which have been added the same satellite at the same time. So we can get the follows: several modified items. The CLOCK (BPL) - UTC (NTSC) ΔtiA = t i− t A (1) is calculated through the selection of the same GPS CV file Δt = t− t (2) according to the output files of two GPS CV receivers, iB i B including the PRN (satellite number), satellite elevation, CL Formula (1) is the time difference of satellite i and A, formula (2) is the time difference of satellite i and B. (types), MJD, HHMMSS (start time tracking) and TRKL Using formula (1) - formula (2), the time difference of A (trace length), etc. 3) The smoothing method of GPS CV data. Because of and B is t ： BA the measurement noise and various kinds of measurement ΔtiA − Δ tiB =()() t i − t A − t i − t B = t B − t A = t BA (3) errors (such as the ionosphere additional time delay, etc.), the GPS CV can completely offset clock error, the most of the real-time data can't reflect the quality level of atomic clocks ephemeris error, can also partly offset the ionosphere delay itself. GPS CV needs to process the data more than one day and tropospheric delay error[4], this is the main reason why using the method of statistical analysis after the exchange of the GPS CV has the high precision. observation data to get a better time comparison results. So the data processing method has become the key to raise the transmission precision. There are many smoothing filter GPS Satellite methods, Vondrak smoothing method is the usual method used internationally. Vondrak smoothing method is a method of curve fitting to eliminate the random error in the measurement data. This GPS CV GPS CV method can smooth the measurement data in a reasonable Receiver Receiver manner in the case of unknown form fitting function. Vondrak smoothing essentially has the function of unilateral Data Data UTC Special data CLOCK UTC processin communication link processin (NTSC) (PU) filter in data processing, it can be used as a digital filter. This g g method is put forward by Vondrak, a astronomer of NTSC BPL System [5] Czechoslovakia in 1969 . Supposing there is measurement data x( i= 1,2,3... N ) , Figure 1. The principle diagram of broadcasting clock testing and i evaluation the fundamental of Vondrak smoothing method is： Q= F +λ2 s = min (4) B. GPS CV method N ' 2 1) GPS CV basic principle. GPS CV method was put F=∑ Pi () xi − X i (5) forward by the American National Standards Institute in i=1 1980 [2] [3], its basic principle is shown as figure 2. The two N −3 2 3 ' ground station receive the same satellite signal at the same SX=∑() Δ i (6) time, then the time comparison between two atomic clocks i=1 As the formula shown, is the unknown smoothed are fulfilled through data exchange. X i value, Pi is the weight of the measured data. GPS Satellite F is Vondrak smoothing goodness of fit. S represents the sum of third-order differential square of smoothed value, if the third-order differential of a curve is very small, then obviously this curve is very smooth, so that S is the smoothness. λ2 is a given positive coefficient, which adjust the relationship between the goodness of fit and the degree of smoothing. In the extreme case, when λ2 tends to ∞, to make t A the formula (4) up to the minimum value, S must tends to 0, t B then a smooth quadratic parabola is got through the Vondrak smoothing. Conversely, if λ2 tends to 0, to make the formula Station A (4) up to the minimum value, F must be close to zero, then a Station B smooth is got. It is shown from the Vondrak smoothing basic principles Figure 2. The principle diagram of GPS CV that this method is to seek a compromise curve, which is 95 between the absolute curve approximation of the frequency offset contains time-varying noise, oscillator data measurement data and absolute curve smoothness, the degree are usually non-stationary. For stationary data, the number of of compromise is controlled by λ2 . The formula (4) is a measurements increases, the mean and variance converge to combination distribution, the idea of Vondrak smoothing the same value; for non-stationary data, the mean and method make the combination distribution to reach the variance does not converge to a certain value.

  • Section 9 Summary of Results 9.1 Introduction 9.2
    SECTION 9 SUMMARY OF RESULTS 9.1 INTRODUCTION Section 9.2 summarizes the results of NTIA’s preliminary investigations (Sections 2 – 5). These investigations helped refine the scope and approach of NTIA’s analyses and established certain technical assumptions. Section 9.3 summarizes the results of NTIA’s Phase 1 analyses of interference risks (Section 6), measurement procedures (Section 7) and techniques for prevention and mitigation of interference (Section 8). Section 9.4 summarizes matters requiring further study. 9.2 PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS 9.2.1 Descriptions of BPL Systems NTIA identified three architectures for access BPL networks (Section 2): (1) BPL systems using different frequencies on medium- and low-voltage power lines for networking within a neighborhood and extensions to users’ premises, respectively; (2) BPL use of only medium voltage lines for networking within a neighborhood, with other technologies being used for network extensions to users’ premises; and (3) BPL use of the same frequencies on medium- and low-voltage power lines for networking in a neighborhood and extensions to users’ premises. Responses of BPL manufacturers and operators to the FCC’s BPL NOI generally indicate that BPL systems will operate at or near the Part 15 field strength limits in order to achieve maximum throughput and distance separation between BPL devices. NTIA addressed simple BPL deployment models in the Phase 1 interference risk analyses (Section 6). Specifically, a single BPL device and associated power lines were considered for cases of potential interference to ground-based radio receivers and several co-frequency BPL devices were assumed to be deployed throughout the area covered by an aircraft receiver antenna.

INTRODUCTION A Mathematical model of magnetic variation in the continental United States (COT48) has been implemented in the Ohio University Loran-C receiv­ er. The model is based on a least squares fit of a polynomial function. The implementation on the micro-processor based Loran-C receiver is pos­ sible with the help of a math chip, Am9511 manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices, which performs 32 bit floating point mathematical operations. A Peripheral Interface Adapter (M6520) is used to communicate between the 6502 based micro-computer and the 9511 math chip. The implementation pro­ vides magnetic variation data to the pilot as a function of latitude and longitude. This report briefly describes the model and the real time implementation in the receiver. II. THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL The model was developed at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) by Fabiano et al. [11, by performing least squares analysis on more than 34,000 data measurements taken between 1900 and 1974.
