Signal Delay Stability of a Ku-Band Two-Way Satellite Time Transfer Terminal

Abstract : A fully automated two-way time and frequency transfer (TWSTFT) system including a satellite simulator, which allows to carry out signal delay measurements in conjunction with each time transfer measurement, is operated at the Technical University Graz (TUG). After a brief description of the system, results obtained during fifteen months of operation are presented and discussed. Finally envisaged experiments are mentioned.
