Scientific paper

System requirements, system layout, performance, and planned improvements, are outlined. The PRARE (Precise Range and Range rate Equipment) principle was originally intended as a universal tool for precise orbit determination of Earth orbiting spacecraft. Its primary purpose was to provide exact measurements of physical quantities required for this task and to avoid, as far as possible, the use of orbit and signal propagation models. Systematic errors were reduced by choosing a near optimum topology. The paper demonstrated that the very demanding requirements of time transfer between an orbiting H maser clock and the ground could be met by the instrument in its basic configuration, provided that the carried phase measurement resolution is increased and the onboard calibration provisions are specifically tailored for this task. An estimation of the expected residual instrumentation error is given in conclusion.
