Description

Decentralized integrated atomic time system and establishing method thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of atomic time, in particular to a decentralized comprehensive atomic time system and an establishing method thereof.
Background
Atomic Time (TA) is a time scale for timing by accumulation of precise oscillation periods generated by atomic frequency standards, and atomic time is appreciated by people with higher accuracy and uniformity than Universal Time (UT) at the beginning. But its reliability is far from the "earth clock" that is the basis of the world time scale. Any frequency scale has a limited lifetime and is limited by the mean time to failure of the equipment, so that a reliable, uniform and highly accurate time scale cannot be formed by only one atomic clock or a small number of atomic clocks. In order to improve the reliability of atomic time, a plurality of clocks are combined, and the mean time to failure of a system of a timekeeping system consisting of a plurality of atomic clocks is shorter than that of a single clock, which is also a method commonly adopted by various timekeeping laboratories at present.
However, when considering the atomic time reliability factor, in addition to the life span and the mean time to failure due to the manufacturing quality of the atomic clock itself, the atomic time reliability factor may be affected by an unstable factor caused by a sudden accident or a management operation accident. The sudden accidents include natural accidents such as earthquakes, lightning and the like, and artificial accidents such as wars, fires and the like. Mismanagement operations can also cause a break-in-time or a reduction in the level of the break-in-time. In summary, multi-station is better than single station in terms of reliability, and decentralized processing is better than master-slave mode.
In terms of the performance of the synthetic atomic time, the synthetic atomic time is related to not only the performance, number and atomic time algorithm of atomic clocks, but also the quality of comparison data among atomic clocks. Atomic clock alignment includes laboratory alignment and remote clock alignment. Remote clock comparison is a necessary condition for establishing a comprehensive atomic time scale by using a multi-station atomic clock, and is one of main factors influencing atomic time performance. The existing remote time comparison method mainly comprises the following steps: satellite two-way time comparison method and GNSS common view method.
The satellite bidirectional comparison method is a method with the highest precision of remote time frequency transmission at present, and utilizes a geosynchronous orbit communication satellite to remotely transmit time at two sites for time transmission through a satellite ground station and a satellite bidirectional time comparison modem. Due to the symmetry of the electromagnetic wave bidirectional propagation path, the main time comparison error can be eliminated, and the time transmission result of two places can be obtained in real time. The method has good real-time performance and high index, and the time comparison precision is better than 1 ns.
The GNSS common view method uses a GNSS satellite as a medium, two stations which carry out time transmission acquire comparison data by using a GNSS receiver, and then the two stations exchange and process the data to obtain a time transmission result. The method is the most popular remote time transmission method applied in time-frequency laboratories of various countries in the world, the cost is low, the data processing technology is simple and mature, and the common view comparison precision is better than 10 ns. Furthermore, current developments in multi-channel receiver technology have made it possible that the common view time transfer is no longer limited to the 16 minute interval specified by the standard CGGTTS format. Under the condition that the communication condition allows, the quick exchange of the common-view data can be realized, and the quick common-view comparison can be realized.
In conclusion, the existing method for establishing the comprehensive atomic time is limited by the small number of atomic clocks in a single laboratory, and the accurate and uniform comprehensive atomic time is difficult to establish; meanwhile, the existing mode for establishing the comprehensive atom by combining the multi-station and the master-slave mode is low in reliability. Therefore, it is desirable to design a decentralized integrated atomic time system.
