A study illustrating the two way time transfer technique and describing the use of this technique with the MITREX (Microwave Time and Range Experiment) SATRE (Satellite Time and Range Experiment) modems is presented. The two way time transfer technique via geosynchronous telecom satellites is one of the most accurate methods for synchronization and comparison of remote clocks. Most of the unknown propagation delays can be eliminated by the two way principle. The use of a coherent spread spectrum technique with a truncated pseudonoise code offers a resolution better than 30 ps of the measured time interval. The receiver is built around a Delay Locked Loop (DLL), which correlates the received signal with the known PN sequence to derive the control signal of the loop. In the locked state both PN sequences are synchronous and tracking errors of less than 30 ps are possible. Results showing the accuracy of the modem depending on signal to noise ratio and variation of total input power levels are presented and show that the expected improvement of the jitter of the internal delay by an increase of the chip rate is possible.
