Abstract :
With the development of better standards we are investigating the use of GPS carrier phase for time transfer. Currently Two-Way Satellite Time Transfer (TWSTT) can be used as a means to compare two remote clods at an uncertainty of one part in 1014. Using TWSTT as a baseline, we can show some of the promising results obtained with the GPS carrier phase method of time transfer. We also discuss receiver reset calibration using 1 pps data and differences in our results when using predicted versus precise ephemerides
