This paper provides a report on the deployment of a BPS Mesh Network, deployed in Baltimore, Md., Washington, D.C. and Denver, Co.
DownloadThis paper, excerpted from the Proceedings of the 2025 NAB Broadcast Engineering and Information Technology (BEIT) Conference, provides results from a field test transmission from KWGN in Denver, Co.
DownloadThis peer reviewed scientific paper, entitled Time Transfer Performance of the Broadcast Positioning System™ (BPS™), was published as part of the Institute Of Navigation (ION) International Technical Meeting in January of 2025. It details the performance of BPS as measured by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
DownloadThis paper details how broadcasters can use a technology standard known as ATSC 3.0 to transmit precise timing signals known as the BPS from their towers, which can be a complementary service to GPS. If GPS fails, BPS still works.
DownloadThis paper describes BPS, which can provide positiioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services using the ATSC 3.0 signal.
DownloadThis paper describes the design of a BPS transmitter mesh network that would allow nationwide time synchronization based entirely on ATSC 3.0 broadcasts.
DownloadThis paper explores the techniques used to measure the broadcast signal's emission time and to compensate for the processing chain timing variability stabilizing the emission time stamp.
DownloadThis paper describes how a variety of timing sources can be used at TV stations for reference.
