IMPLEMENTATION OF A STANDARD FORMAT FOR GPS COMMON VIEW DATA

A new format for standardizing common view time transfer data, recommended by the Consultative Committee for the Definition of the Second, is being implemented in receivers commonly used for contributing data for the generation of International Atomic Time. The paper discusses three aspects of this new format that potentially improve GPS common view time transfer: 1) the standard specifies the method for treating short term data, 2) it presents data in consistent formats including needed terms not previously available, and 3) the standard includes a header of parameters important for the GPS common view process.
