Dual transponder time synchronization at C band using ATS-3.The use of artificial satellites for time synchronization of geographically distant clocks is hindered by problems due to satellite motion or equipment delay measurements. The ATS-3 satellite with its two C-band transponder channels helps solve these problems through techniques for synchronization to accuracies of tenths of microseconds. Portable cesium clocks were used to verify the accuracy of the described system.
