Abstract

This chapter discusses the statistics that are used to characterize the performance of clocks, oscillators, and the networks that are used to calibrate and synchronize and calibrate clocks and oscillators by means of data received from global navigation satellites systems and other sources. A discussion of algorithms that are used to adjust the time and frequency of clocks based on these data is also included.
