Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we show that the SPARK software of the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) with their DCR (Decoupled Clock Rapid) products can be used to generate the PPP-AR continuous batch clock solutions of multiple days, which we use to build frequency transfer links between two remotely located GPS receivers. The reliability and confidence in forming the long-term frequency transfer links have been improved compared to reference~\cite{jian2023gps}. We compare the SPARK PPP-AR links to an optical fiber and TWSTFT links for hundreds of days. The ∽500-day-long comparisons with TWSTFT show no frequency bias for continental and cross-continental links. Frequency transfer links formed using the SPARK solutions have uncertainty of 1×10-15/T, where T is in days, without reaching the noise floor, a critical requirement for comparing optical frequency standards and for the redefinition of the SI second. The short latency of the NRCan DCR products enables the quick availability of the PPP-AR links presented in this paper marking it particularly relevant for time sensitive applications.
