TDC is an electronic device which measures time of arrival of discrete electronic pulses, with respect to reference time base. Our work on TDC is motivated by its applications in field of long-range laser distance measurement and time synchronization. Unlike earlier time interpolation methods, we have chosen all-digital approach based on pulse propagation through tapped delay line. We do not expect it could outperform recent invention of time interpolation using narrow-band filter excitation [1], [2]. However, our approach relies on a standard digital circuitry only. With space applications in mind, we are implementing the TDC into a space qualified, radiation-tolerant field-programmable gate array (FPGA). On top of related works [4] and [5] on all-digital TDCs, delay line, we try to gather more complete information about the sampled pulse. It is done by sampling of whole bit vector, corresponding to all of the delay line taps. A calibration method based on random pulse source is discussed, including preliminary results. Impact of physical FPGA cell placement on resulting time measurement granularity is observed. Actually measured jitter distribution is compared to normal distribution function, giving an insight of absolute accuracy limit of our approach within the given FPGA platform.","PeriodicalId":6409,"journal":{"name":"2012 European Frequency and Time Forum","volume":"42 1","pages":"286-289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88479429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Orbit Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) method is commonly used to estimate the clock offset, which needs continuous observation by large monitoring ground network and complicate algorithms. COMPASS is on its early stage of construction and has not globally distributed station network for satellites tracking. In this paper, we have analyzed an estimation method based on a single monitoring station observation. Based on this method, a simple method for COMPASS MEO/IGSO on-board clocks estimation using smoothed broadcast ephemeris is presented, and a method for COMPASS GEO on-board clocks estimation using satellite radio ranging (SRR) is also discussed. At the end of this paper, the preliminary estimation results for COMPASS IGSO and GEO on-board clocks by these two methods are presented.","PeriodicalId":6409,"journal":{"name":"2012 European Frequency and Time Forum","volume":"345 1","pages":"383-386"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78078716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The drive level dependencies of basic parameters in the simple Butterworth-Van Dyke one-port equivalent circuit of the particular mode were derived from the impedance vs. frequency responses measured in the vicinity of the particular modes, while temperature of the investigated resonator was maintained approximately at the lower turnover point temperature of the main mode. In the 3rd overtone 10-MHz SC quartz resonators, for example, the 5th overtone or the 7th overtone (the c-modes, i.e. the slow thickness-shear modes of vibration) can be exited simultaneously along with the main c-mode, with assistance of an appropriate dual-mode or multi-mode crystal oscillator (DMXO or MMXO); and the resonator self-temperature-sensing can be reliably implemented [1], [2], [3]. Level of amplitudes of particular modes, which are simultaneously excited in DMXO or MMXO, has impact on short-term, as well as on long-term frequency instabilities of generated signals; hence drive levels of individual c-modes have to be set-up properly in the oscillator circuit.","PeriodicalId":6409,"journal":{"name":"2012 European Frequency and Time Forum","volume":"20 1","pages":"227-234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80884512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
