Time Transfer

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Time transfer describes methods for transferring reference clock synchronization from one point to another, often over long distances. Radio-based navigation systems are frequently used as time transfer systems. In some cases, multiple measurements are made over a period of time, and exact time synchronization only determined retrospectively. In particular, time synchronization has been accomplished by using pairs of radio telescopes to listen to a pulsar, with the time transfer accomplished by comparing time offsets of the received pulsar signal.
