Abstract

GPS receivers are often used in time-keeping applications, due to their availability, low price and high accuracy. We tested the capability of the GPS receiver to deliver a time-keeping accuracy needed for the time-critical applications, such as astrometry measurements, when a microsecond or better level of accuracy is needed in real-time. We tested a geodetic class GPS receiver against a rubidium standard, over a 24 hours period. In the overall view, the accuracy corresponds to the nominal values. However, we experienced outliers with the certain regularity that we could not explain with cycle-slips or the experiment set-up.
