Abstract
A new, near real-time, method for intercomplex clock synchronization is proposed. The method consists of transmitting a symmetric frequency ramp to a spacecraft and determining the time at which the received ramp (in doppler residuals) occurs at overlapping stations. Adjusted preliminary data suggest that the accuracy of the method may be better than 0.7 microseconds. The method requires no additional hardware and can be done during normal tracks. Other, perhaps more accurate, variations of the method are under investigation.
