VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUM AUSSENDEN EINES ZEITSIGNALS

摘要

A satellite provides a time signal that is adjusted for position of a receiver on the surface of the Earth. A receiver determines appropriate local time from the time signal, and can adjust a local clock accordingly, the satellite time signal in the form of a rotating beam containing angular information to determine the position of the satellite transmitter for proper synchronization. A fixed receiver can also measure the radiation angle of the transmitted beam.
