Abstract

The time transfer techniques used to generate TAI are currently the TWSTFT (TW), GPS C/A, and GPS P3. About 19% of all TAI laboratories possess P3, 12% possess TW backed up with P3, i.e., in total only 31% of the TAI laboratories transfer 100% of the primary frequency standards (PFS) including all the Cs fountains and 80% of the total weighted clocks for TAI. GPS carrier phase (CP) data are co-products of P3 receivers and they are never used in TAI. An effective strategy to improve TAI is to strengthen these TW+P3 links by using the already available CP information.
