Abstract
We discuss optimal synchronization of local clocks by the Global Positioning System (GPS) one pulse per second (1PPS) timing signals. To eliminate sawtooth errors peculiar to the 1PPS signals and optimally steer the clock errors each M seconds, we propose using a ramp predictive finite impulse response (FIR) filter that is known to be optimal for clock models on large averaging horizons. A low-pass filter is used to smooth the hold filter output between the optimally predicted points. A GPS locked crystal clock has been investigated in detail in terms of the time interval error, Allan deviation, and precision time protocol (PTP) variance. A high efficiency implementation of the proposed synchronization algorithm is demonstrated experimentally.
