These standards, both rubidium vapor cells and cesium beam tubes, control the timing and frequency of the signals emitted by the satellites. They possess the required characteristics of very high stability and high accuracy. Once set to the correct time, clocks driven by these standards maintain the correct time to within tiny fractions of a second for long periods. But no clock, not even an atomic one, is perfect. The performance of individual clocks in the satellites and at tracking stations is compared against GPS System Time which is a synthetic or"paper"time scale derived from the clocks in all of the satellites as well as those at the GPS Control Segment tracking stations. This time scale is kept closely aligned to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as maintained at the US. Naval Observatory (ignoring UTC leapseconds). In addition to the use of GPS for the monitoring and maintenance of the system clocks, GPS is used by the wider precise time and time interval community for synchronizing clocks and frequency standards around the globe. In this article, a team of researchers from the Geodetic Survey Division of Natural Resources Canada describes a technique they have developed for monitoring the performance of both GPS receiver and satellite clocks in real-time using a regional network of tracking stations.
