Abstract

A report is given on the development and initial results of tests of a specialized GPS system for receiving time signals. The system is designed mainly for highly accurate comparison of remote metrological-class time scales and frequency standards. The fact that the method of operation of the system and the format of the output data conform to CCTF requirements ensures high-precision access to the time scales of any time laboratories which participate in the formation of the International Atomic Time (TAI) scale and the Universal Time (Coordinated) (UTC) scale.
