Abstract

Comparison of time scales by a differential method using signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is discussed. The results of the experimental study show the possibility of taking into account the integer property of ambiguities of GLONASS navigation satellites. The random error in the comparison of time scales is about 55 picoseconds.
