Common-View LORAN-C for Precision Time and Frequency Transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order for LORAN-C to serve as a viable backup to GPS for precision time and frequency transfer, a performance improvement of at least an order of magnitude is required. LORAN-C time recovery performance is limited to the microsecond level by seasonal ASF (additional secondary factor) effects. By employing common-view techniques long used in the GPS community, it may be possible to significantly improve performance.

Early Skywave Detection Network: Preliminary Design and Analysis
A skywave signal is one has propagated by reflecting off the ionosphere. These signals are common in low frequency (LF) broadcast. However, in Loran, these signals are nuisances since they interfere with the more stable groundwave signal. Loran-C was designed with mitigations for the most common forms of skywave interference. However, these mitigations are not adequate to mitigate early skywave...
متن کاملCoupling Effects and Performance of Loran Transmitter Antennas
It is known that if a conductor resides in the neighboring of an antenna with a small distance relative to the wavelength, it induces a reverse current on the conductor. This paper involves the unavoidable coupling effects on some common types of LF antennas, due to the large wavelength in this frequency band. In particular, after some discussions about top-loaded antennas, the coupling effect ...
متن کاملA Miniaturized Loran H-field Antenna for Handheld Devices
This paper presents Loran signal processing results for a series of successively smaller H‐ field square‐loop antennas input to a preliminary design of low‐noise‐optimized, low‐ frequency ASIC. Antennas as small as 5cm (2‐inches) on a side are able to detect Loran signals both outdoors and indoors, although in some cases significantly attenuated compared to signals from a larger 50cm (20‐inch)...
متن کاملRainfall-runoff process modeling using time series transfer function
Extended Abstract 1- Introduction Nowadays, forecasting and modeling the rainfall-runoff process is essential for planning and managing water resources. Rainfall-Runoff hydrologic models provide simplified characterizations of the real-world system. A wide range of rainfall-runoff models is currently used by researchers and experts. These models are mainly developed and applied for simulation...
متن کاملMitigating Atmospheric Noise for Loran
With its large-amplitude and short-duration pulses, atmospheric noise, produced by electrical discharges within clouds, dominates the low-frequency spectrum. Unless mitigated, this noise, which enters into the Loran band, can distort a Loran signal within a receiver and can induce cycle selection errors resulting in range measurement errors of 3,000 km. Such errors would induce position errors ...
