    GPS-receiver records data of up to 6 satellites and uses this information to calculate its position. An atomic clock (accuracy at least 1 x 10 E-12) is running in every satellite whose time is constantly transmitted together with the orbit data. The transmitted orbit data are used to determine the travel time of the signals of the individual satellites. These values form the basis for a very precise GPS-time which is maintained in the system via an adjustable crsytal at an accuracy of +1

    GPS Information
    How the GPS-receiver works
    The satellite Global Positioning System (GPS) distributes precise time, frequency and position worldwide. At a height of about 20,000 km satellites circle around the earth on different orbits. An atomic clock (accuracy at least 1 x 10 E-12) is running in every satellite whose time is constantly transmitted together with the orbit data. The GPS-receiver records the data of up to 6 satellites and uses this information to calculate its position.

    The transmitted orbit data are used to determine the travel time of the signals of the individual satellites. These values form the basis for a very precise GPS-time which is maintained in the system via an adjustable crsytal at an accuracy of 1 sec.

    Systems
    Our GPS-radio controlled clocks can be used worldwide as time standards. We offer interfaces with RS232-, RS422-, TTY-, IRIGA- and IRIGB outputs, boards for PCs and (on request) for VME-bus computers. Furthermore, our production line includes systems for the supervision and analysis of frequencies, standard frequency generators, master and slave clocks.

    Installation
    All devices are configurable. At any location in the world on every continent, the difference time to UTC and regional changeover times for summer/wintertime can be entered. A integrated simulation of the DCF77signal enables DCF77-clocks to be synchronised worldwide without alterations in well proved installations.
