Standard time and frequency signal service
- Standard time and frequency signal service
The Standard Time and Frequency Signal (STFS) is a service available in the United States (centered at 10.000MHz? .jg) which provides standard time and frequency signals, broadcast on very precise carrier frequencies by the U.S. Naval Observatory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).
A similar service is operated in the United Kingdom by the National Physical Laboratory, broadcasting from Anthorn VLF transmitter in north-west England, and by the BBC using the 198kHz carrier of the Radio 4 national radio station with a frequency accuracy of 1 part in 10^11.
