CCTF Working Group on Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer (CCTF-WGTWSTFT)

Membres

Les membres du groupe de travail sont les représentants, et en particulier les experts des laboratoires participants, ainsi que les représentants d'autres laboratoires susceptibles de participer au groupe de travail.

Les représentants des laboratoires intéressés par ce domaine sont encouragés à suivre les activités du groupe de travail en tant qu'observateurs.

Termes de référence

• to perform coordination activities related to TWSTFT between participating and prospective institutes,
• to act as a point of contact for BIPM on TWSTFT matters,
• to organize the operation of TWSTFT links to support the production of TAI,
• to perform calibration campaigns to reduce the time link uncertainties between participating institutes,
• to observe and review the needs for remote frequency and time comparisons of frequency standards and atomic time scales,
• to establish and maintain dedicated TWSTFT links to support remote clock comparisons,
• to identify future needs of remote clock comparisons,
• to undertake research for the improvement of TWSTFT and
• to follow and assess other techniques, including GNSS, optical fibers, optical satellite links which could be used for remote (optical) clock comparisons, and
• together with BIPM, to foster the spread of information on technical achievements by suitable means, e.g. via BIPM webpage.
