Thanks Jim
Was not aware that 10 Ghz signals could penetrate so deeply. I work for a
enterprise wifi company on the RF side and one of our key challenges is signal
attenuation/distortion by building materials
Any pointers to papers on this?
I did know that /tvb was using seismic sensors but

Have you considered WWVB? Works fine within structures.
Even though the carrier today is phase modulated one can probably glean
1 ms accuracy from it or the data transmitted.

Of course all this from the guy who once tried to use seismic sensors and
GPSDO to triangulate moles in his backyard...
I don't recall seeing that on leapsecond.com... Sounds like something that
could become an obsession that rivaled clocks in cost. I'm picturing Bill

Moles are a bit small it would probably work better for woodchucks. who are in
the process of undermining all lawns in neighborhood now.
In a more serious vein most ground penetrating radar is low frequency and I was
not aware that THz waves could penetrate ground more than a few CM

They have the ability to embed GPS coordinates while recording.

ground penetrating radar doesn't work very well in the typical disaster
rubble enviroment which has uneven surfaces and a lot of random
scattering in the

I don't have a GPS-18 in front of me, and I'm modifying some software
remotely, and I ran across an issue that someone on this list probably
knows off the top of their head.
Does the GPS-18 put out 1pps pulses even if it hasn't got a fix yet?
That is, when you apply power, does it just start
The GPS-18 does NOT output 1PPS until it acquires lock. Then the 1PPS
stays on even if lock is lost, running from the internal crystal. I
have not checked, but once it reacquires lock I presume it jumps to the
correct second. All outputs including 1PPS are CMOS levels, so it
drives both low

Oh, I didn't actually think it would be 10% off.. more like a few ppm,
depending on temperature. I was wondering more what would happen if you
were indoors for a couple days, then went back out, what the box does.
realistically, I don't expect that it smoothly brings it back

when I'm in a GPS denied environment, it's not just because we're
indoors, it's because we're somewhere that GPS isn't available, so what
I'm really doing is providing a sort of flywheel to keep my little
modules synced with each other. I don't need super accuracy in an
absolute sense: I
