    This ensures that intermittent conditions are not flagged unnecessarily. During the normal working of the TimeSource 3100, it is a very common occurrence that the GPS satellites may not be visible during certain parts of the day, depending on the installation of the antenna.

  • Page 29: Time Figure Of Merit

    Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeSource 3100 Functional Description Time Figure of Merit Time Figure of Merit (TFOM) is a moving 24 hour measurement reported in nanosecond (ns) against an ideal model. TFOM has a frequency component used to measure GPS wander caused by multipath and a time loop component used to measure long term oscillator wander.
  • Page 30 Chapter 1 Overview of the TimeSource 3100 Functional Description At time of installation, marginal or unacceptable TFOM readings can indicate the need to adjust the antenna placement, the mask angle, and/or the location data. Relatively small changes in the antenna placement can improve the ability of the system to see satellites and therefore improve performance.
