Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A precise time and frequency transfer between the satellite-onboard atomic clocks and the ground reference clocks has been planned for the Engineering Test Satellite-VIII (ETS-VIII) under the collaboration between the Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) and the National Space Development Agency (NASDA). ETS-VIII is a Japanese Geostationary Satellite, which will be launched in 2002. It has missions for mobile communication experiments and for precision timing experiments using Cesium atomic clocks in space. CRL is conducting the precise time and frequency transfer experiment between the cesium atomic clock on ETS-VIII and the ground reference clock. For this experiment, a special time transfer system, which was proposed by CRL, is now under development. In this system, we abopt a twoway time transfer method with the use of the carrier phase information for the precise timing measurement. It will attain a precision better than 10ps on the measurement of the time difference between onboard standards and the ground reference clocks.
