Explore: Time Signals

radio time signal stations transmit a signal that allows automatic synchronization of clocks, and commercial broadcasters still include time signals in their

generally continuous signals. Other examples of continuous signals are sine wave, cosine wave, triangular wave etc. The signal is defined over a domain

discrete and continuous-time domains. Discrete-time signals are often referred to as time series in other fields. Continuous-time signals are often referred

notify it of an event. Common uses of signals are to interrupt, suspend, terminate or kill a process. Signals originated in 1970s Bell Labs Unix and

broadcast on the hour. Hong Kong – A six-pip time signal is used on RTHK's radio channels. The signals, which are provided by the Hong Kong Observatory

sub-microsecond precision, clients can obtain the time from satellite signals. UTC is also the time standard used in aviation, e.g. for flight plans and

other purposes, providing the transmission of specified frequencies, time signals, or both, of stated high precision, intended for general reception".

transmitter remains in use for the dissemination of the time signal and other digital signals. As of 2017 the transmitter has been renamed to ALS162.

Metrology. There are 6 transmitter stations, which take turns transmitting time signals and other communications. Each transmitter has 1 or 2 scheduled sessions

Eventually, time signals from GBR were terminated in November 1986 and it is no longer used as a frequency reference. The MSF signals started in 1950
