title: Absolute calibration of a geodetic time transfer system.
abstract: An absolute calibration technique is developed for geodetic Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. An uncertainty budget for the system (receiver, cables, connectors, antenna) is evaluated, yielding 1.1 ns at each frequency, and 1.6 ns for a two-receiver experiment. Analysis of data on a short baseline yields 0.8 and 1.2 ns agreement on P1 and P2, respectively.
