Abstract :
A new GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver has been developed which offers the user a means of performing precise frequency calibration traceable to the USNO without all of the prior preparation and coordination required in common view measurements. This receiver, the Model 100 GPS Clock, has a unique architecture that offers significantly improved frequency stability and time pulse (1 PPS) jitter of less than 1 ns. The use of this low-cost receiver is discussed as it pertains to the general area of frequency calibration. Techniques for frequency calibration using the GPS that can be employed in most calibration laboratories are identified
