GNSS carrier phase common-view precision time transfer using the ionospheric-weighted single-differenced model

High-precision global navigation satellite system (GNSS) time transfer depends on the carrier phase observations, and ionospheric delay affects rapid integer ambiguity resolution. Therefore, this work applies the ionospheric-weighted single-differenced model. Experimental results indicate that for a time-link of 67.9 km, the time transfer accuracy of different single-system is better than 0.03 ns. Compared with single-system, multi-system demonstrates 8% to 14% improvement in accuracy and improvement of no more than 31% in frequency stability. Additionally, compared with the case without ionospheric constraint, imposing ionospheric constraints can improve performance of time transfer, but the gain decreases as the time-link length increases.
