Abstract :
This study presents methods that provide the time and frequency standards comparison accuracy in the nanosecond limits. But there are different complications in the usage of some or the other methods. Hence, one should always be guided not by the considerations of achieving the maximum accuracy, but by the practicability of the usage of some of the methods in the particular situation when choosing the synchronization method. This work advises to unite several synchronization methods in order to increase reliability. For example, it is recommended to combine radio meteoric method of synchronization (RMS) and satellite radionavigating systems (SNRS) time and frequency scales synchronization systems. Both mutual calibration and examination of both systems results allows to achieve higher synchronization precision.
