  • Patent number: 7647032
    Abstract: An oscillation control device for controlling a frequency of an oscillator located at the remote site from a standard laboratory having a standard oscillator. The control device includes: a comparison section to compare a frequency of the frequency signal synchronized with a radio signal produced by a signal processing section with a frequency of a oscillation signal outputted from an oscillator to be controlled, an acquisition section to obtain, through a communication network, a comparison result which is obtained by a comparison of a frequency of the standard oscillator held by the standard laboratory and a frequency of the radio signal, a calculation section to calculate deviation between the frequency of the oscillator to be controlled and the frequency of the standard oscillator based on their comparison, and a control section to control the frequency of the oscillator to be controlled, based on the deviation calculated.

  • Patent number: 5036330
    Abstract: A ranging system using the correlation between two spread spectrum wave signals includes an antenna for receiving from a single radio source two spread spectrum modulated signals simultaneously transmitted in the same code on carrier waves of different frequency, a multiplier for multiplying the received signals by each other to generate two continuous signals of frequencies respectively equal to the difference and the sum of the carrier waves of the spread spectrum signals, and a data processing computer for measuring the phases of the two continuous signals with reference to a reference clock at the receiving station so as to remove the ambiguity at the time of range measurement.
