This book presents a novel satellite timekeeping system which does not require on-board atomic clocks as used by existing navigation satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS or the GALILEO system. This concept is differentiated by the employment of a synchronization framework combined with lightweight steerable on-board clocks which act as transponders re-broadcasting the precise time remotely provided by the time synchronization network located on the ground. This allows the system to operate optimally when satellites are in direct contact with the ground station, making it suitable for a…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book presents a novel satellite timekeeping
system which does not require on-board atomic clocks
as used by existing navigation satellite systems such
as GPS, GLONASS or the GALILEO system. This
concept is differentiated by the employment of a
synchronization framework combined with lightweight
steerable on-board clocks which act as transponders
re-broadcasting the precise time remotely provided by
the time synchronization network located on the
ground. This allows the system to operate optimally
when satellites are in direct contact with the ground
station, making it suitable for a system like the
Japanese Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, QZSS. Low
satellite mass and low satellite manufacturing and
launch cost are significant advantages of this novel
system. Two possible implementations of the time
synchronization network for QZSS are presented.
Additionally, the problem of satellite communication
interruption is analysed and a solution is presented.
Finally a positioning and timing quality analysis,
aimed to provide understanding of the actual timing
quality requirements for QZSS, is presented.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Tappero holds a MS in electrical engineering and a PhD in
engineering from UNSW, Australia. Dr. Tappero worked at the Space
Technology Group of AIST in Tsukuba, Japan on a novel timekeeping
system for the QZSS. Presently, Dr. Tappero works as researcher
at EPFL, Switzerland on GNSS synchronization algorithms and
indoor positioning systems.
