  • Page 38: Information On Satellite Reception

    Your system is fitted with the GNS181-UC, a 72-channel satellite receiver clock that serves as a high-accuracy time and frequency reference for your Meinberg system and is designed to receive signals from the United States GPS (Global Positioning System) and European Galileo system using a Meinberg antenna/converter unit, enabling a choice of time references from the combined GPS and Galileo systems.

  • Page 39: Time Zones And Daylight Saving Time

    8 Information on Satellite Reception 8.2.1 Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time GPS System Time is a linear timescale that was synchronized with the international UTC timescale (Coor- dinated Universal Time) when the satellite system became operational in 1980. Since it has entered service, however, several leap seconds have been introduced to the UTC timescale to adjust UTC time to irregularities in the Earth’s rotation.
