BIPM-APMP Timescale Workshop 2024

Date and Venue

  • 23 and 24 November 2024
  • National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, India

Overview

This workshop will cover key topics through tutorial lectures and hands-on training sessions. Participants will gain practical experience in clock data analysis, generation of time scales, and time transfer techniques relevant to UTC(k) operations.

The objective of this workshop is to support institutes to improve their National Standard Time and their contributions to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through participation in BIPM Circular T / Key Comparison CCTF-K001.UTC.

The theme of the workshop is “UTC(k) Timescale Generation and GNSS links”. The workshop is planned for 2 days. The content of the training is tailored for skill development and knowledge sharing. It is scheduled in a way to help newcomers (engineers/scientists/technical staff) of NMIs and DIs to get the complete knowledge to maintain their National Time Scales starting from analyzing the clock data, making an averaged ensemble of time scale, steering the time scale, and GNSS time transfer techniques.

The programme is planned that the participant shall get the complete knowledge about the subject and the hands-on training on the related aspects. The hands-on/lab sessions include analyzing the clock data, which is the primary step to make a time scale ensemble, simulation of ensemble time scale with a sample data or using actual data, on user friendly software. Hands-on experiments with actual hardware are planned to demonstrate the clock steering mechanism.

Target audience

We invite applications from personnel involved in Time Scale or GNSS Time Transfer activities at UTC(k) laboratories in National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) or Designated Institutes (DIs). Preference will be given to participants from NMIs/DIs that are members of the Asia Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP).

Registration

Registration will be processed through the APMP website in the category of “Time & Frequency Workshop”.
