Since early eighties, the introduction of new methods for distant time transfer has led to a major improvement in the precision, accuracy, and coverage of world-wide time metrology. All of these methods are based on the use of satellites. Communication between ground stations and satellites is effected through microwave or optical signals according to a one-way or two-way mode.
