China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) has improved its timing service, according to a new study.
Researchers from the National Time Service Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed the time transfer performance of BDS-3 signals. Results showed that the time transfer performance of the BDS-3 is over 50 percent higher than that of the BDS-2.
After conducting the zero-baseline common clock time comparison and other analyses, the research found that the time transfer performance of BDS-3 signals is comparable to that of Galileo and GPS.
The study was published in the international journal Metrologia.
According to the National Time Service Center, the publication shows that the center's research in BDS-3's time application has won international recognition. It also shows that BDS-3's timing service has been recognized by international experts in the field of time and frequency, conducive to promoting the international application of the BDS. (Xinhua)
A dam deformation monitoring system based on BeiDou Navigation Satellite System has been put into operation in Usoi Dam in Tajikistan, according to China's National Time Service Center (NTSC) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
China has successfully sent two satellites of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province at 05:10 a.m. Monday. Launched on a Long March-3B carrier rocket, the two satellites entered the orbit. They are ...
