  • Abstract
    This paper presents an investigation into the sources of instability in geodetic GPS time transfers at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). This investigation shows that for averaging times up to six hours, the delay instabilities of the NPL geodetic GPS receivers give the largest contribution to the overall geodetic GPS time transfer instability for a baseline of 5 m. Also, they make a significant contribution over a longer baseline of 750 km
