A two-way time synchronization experiment performed in the spring of 1979 and 1980 via the Italian SIRIO-1 experimental telecommunications satellite is described. The experiment was designed and implemented to precisely monitor the satellite motion and to evaluate the possibility of performing a high precision, two-way time synchronization using a single communication channel, time-shared between the participating sites. Results show that the precision of the time synchronization is between 1 and 5 ns, while the evaluation and correction of the satellite motion effect was performed with an accuracy of a few nanoseconds or better over a time interval from 1 up to 20 seconds.read more

Fundamentals of two-way time transfers by satellite
TL;DR: The principles of two-way time transfer are discussed with emphasis on its use with commercial communications satellites and the limitations imposed by the atmosphere, the equipment, and the rotating, noninertial reference system are discussed.

Time Comparison Experiments with Small K-Band Antennas and SSRA Equipments via a Domestic Geostationary Satellite
TL;DR: In this article, a domestic accurate time-comparison system via the K-band (30/20 GHz) link of a Japanese geostationary satellite (CS) was developed for measuring the station time delays by insertion of a pulse-modulated signal and its detection at each of the uplink path and the downlink path of the station.

Characterizing the Impact of Precision Time and Range Measurements from Two-Way Time Transfer Systems on Network Differential GPS Position Solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of using TWTT time measurements to augment differential GPS systems to improve the relative positioning solutions of vehicle networks and found that incorporating TWTT measurements into the DGPS solution improves the 3D relative positioning accuracy by up to 44% with pseudorange measurements and 35% with phase measurements.
