SpT on Board Atomic Clocks and Timing Systems in GNSS

  • 摘要: 研究了空间铷钟和被动型氢钟的地面批量和寿命试验测试结果,以及卫星在轨试验所达到的最新性能结果。基于这些星载钟的试验结果,对全球卫星导航系统的地面时间站的关键设备及其相关算法作了简要描述,并介绍了一种新颖的在轨技术,即从星载原子钟组(ONCLE)直接产生高度稳健的时间频率信号。

     

    Abstract: SpectraTime is a space clock manufacturer of Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard(RAFS) and passive hydrogen maser(PHM) for various navigation systems(European,Chinese and Indian) and other space programs.Both technologies have now flight heritage of several years through Galileo in-orbit validation element(GIOVE) experimental satellites which have been flying since Dec.2005 and Apr.2008 or through Beidou.This paper describes for both SpT space RAFS and PHM the on-ground performances in large unit quantity and life-time tests,as well as onboard achieved clock performances.Based on these results a short overview of the ground GNSS timing segment with its atomic clocks and associated algorithms will be given.With those elements in hands,a short presentation of novel onboard techniques to generate highly robust timing signal directly from the satellite onboard one clock ensemble(ONCLE) will be concluded.
