  2. Radio clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock

    A modern LF radio-controlled clock. A radio clock or radio-controlled clock (RCC), and often colloquially (and incorrectly [1]) referred to as an "atomic clock", is a type of quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock.

    Radio-controlled clock: NIST list of receivers [19] AC-100-WWVB Time Receiver; AC-500-MSF Time Receiver; ClockWatch Radio Sync [20] F6CTE's CLOCK [15] WWV: 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz AM Voice with modified IRIG-Hformat time code on 100 Hz sub-carrier (CCIR code) HF radio and antenna (plus software if automatic updating of computer time is desired)

  4. BPC (time signal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPC_(time_signal)

    BPC transmits a time signal on 68.5 kHz, which can be used for synchronizing radio controlled clocks. The transmission site is situated near Shangqiu , Henan Province [ 1 ] at 34°27′25″N 115°50′13″E  /  34.457°N 115.837°E  / 34.457; 115

  5. Time signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signal

    Today, global navigation satellite systems radio signals are used to precisely distribute time signals over much of the world. There are many commercially available radio controlled clocks available to accurately indicate the local time, both for business and residential use. Computers often set their time from an Internet atomic clock source ...

    Radio-controlled watches require no setting of time and date, or daylight saving time adjustments, as they attempt automatic synchronization several times every night. [1] Without synchronisation, Wave Ceptors, like other commercial quartz timepieces, are typically accurate to ± 15 seconds per month; daily synchronization ensures 500 ms accuracy.

  7. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    Standard-quality 32 768 Hz resonators of this type are warranted to have a long-term accuracy of about six parts per million (0.0006%) at 31 °C (87.8 °F): that is, a typical quartz clock or wristwatch will gain or lose 15 seconds per 30 days (within a normal temperature range of 5 to 35 °C or 41 to 95 °F) or less than a half second clock ...

    Consumer grade radio clock movement with the DCF77 receiver (right) in the clock. The small ferrite loopstick antenna used in this alarm clock can be seen at the left. Due to the propagation process, phase and/or frequency shifts observed in received signals the practical obtainable accuracy is lower than originally realized with the atomic ...
