This study introduces an optimally unbiased moving average (MA) filter for precise time error estimation in Global Positioning System (GPS) timekeeping. The new filter offers improved accuracy for synchronized time synchronization applications.

Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Timekeeping

Background:

  • Accurate time synchronization is crucial for Global Positioning System (GPS) applications.
  • Local clock time errors require effective online estimation and correction methods.
  • Moving Average (MA) filters are commonly used but can be prone to bias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design an optimally unbiased Moving Average (MA) filter for online time error estimation in GPS-based timekeeping.
  • To analyze the noise and bias characteristics of the proposed filter compared to a simple MA filter.
  • To validate the filter's performance using numerical simulations and real-world GPS data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an optimally unbiased MA filter by assuming a linear time error function over N points.

  • Utilized linear regression for stochastic approximation to evaluate and minimize filter bias.
  • Investigated filter performance with varying averaging intervals (N) and noise levels.

    • Main Results:

    • The optimally unbiased MA filter and its modification were designed and analyzed.
    • The proposed filter demonstrated a two-fold increase in noise compared to a simple MA for large N (N >> 1).
    • Both simulated and real GPS time error data confirmed the filter's effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The optimally unbiased MA filter provides a robust solution for time error online estimating and synchronization in GPS systems.
    • The trade-off between bias reduction and noise increase was quantified for practical implementation.
    • The filter's performance is suitable for demanding GPS timekeeping scenarios.
