Abstract :
In the last few years the BIPM has started using GNSS phase and code observations and the Precise Point Positioning technique to compute time links for the generation of TAI. The estimated instability of such links for averaging time up to 1 month has been taken as 0.3 ns. In this paper, we investigate methods to estimate this instability, following several approaches.
