Abstract :
Meteor burst communication equipment has been successfully utilized in Russia for two-way time comparisons between standards of several time-keeping services. For its operation, the equipment depends on carrier phase measurements at several frequencies. Time transfer with accuracy better than 1 ns for a distance up to 2000 km is possible via this self-contained and low-cost equipment. To test the equipment and to estimate the time transfer performance, a series of time transfer experiments has been made on several meteor links in 1991-1993.<>
