Optimization of concurrent data and high-precision time transfer modes in meteor burst synchronization equipment

Abstract

We present the capacity of meteor synchronization equipment in data transfer mode with data rate depending on current synchronization state. The equipment works in two modes: time transfer and data transfer, both consume available meteor trails. For the particular application discussed, the amount of bits transferred on a single meteor trail is a logarithmic function of time-scale shift estimate error. The additional requirement of the application is both modes may not share the same meteor trail. © 2007 IEEE.
