Abstract
A method of transferring high precise time based on the satellite digital TV broadcasting system (DVB-S) is presented in this paper. PCR (Program Clock Reference) in the signal of TV is considered as the Time Synchronization Flag, precise timestamp captured by PCR is real-time recorded in both transmitting segment and user segment, so time in both sides will be synchronized roughly. Then the period of signal from transmitting segment to user segment is calculated by Precise Satellite Ephemeris, and the time will be synchronized precisely. The experimental result showed the method is feasible, and the RMS<; 100ns.
