Testing the stability of gps oscillators within Serbian permanent gps stations network

Abstract

Periodic tests of quartz oscillators incorporated in GPS receivers in Serbia are performed in accredited metrological laboratories by the procedure adopted in metrological laboratory ML160. However, receivers of Serbian permanent stations network (AGROS) are permanently mounted on the top of roofs of local cadastral offices, spread along territory of Serbia. They cannot be taken to a metrological laboratory for calibration because of need for constant work. A method for testing their oscillator stability is presented in this paper.
