Challenges with satellite-delivered timing
• GNSS outages or temporarily
degraded signal quality
• Ionospheric disturbances
• solar activity
• Jamming: overpowering
weak GNSS signal
• Spoofing: fake GNSS signal
• Obstructions from new
buildings, growing trees
• Antenna construction
frequently does not achieve
clear sky view
• Interference from high-
power RF transmitters such
as TV, cellular, radar, µWave
Is GNSS your only source for synchronization? You should be scared!
