Abstract: Time code is widely used in aerospace,finance,communication,transportation and energy,etc while timing deviation is an important parameter to characterize the synchronization performance of time code.The operation environment of time code equipment is complex where it needs to be continuously powered up for a long time,so it is not suitable for disassembly.Therefore,field calibration technology should be adopted for timing deviation measurement.In this paper,a field calibration method of time code is proposed,which utilizes Beidou common view technology to obtain accurate and reliable time reference.Time codes such as 1PPS,B(DC)code and B(AC)code can be measured so as to solve the problem of field calibration.The experimental results show that the timing deviation of the time base in the field calibration device is less than 10ns relative to UTC(BIRM).The expanded uncertainty of 1PPS and B(DC)measurement is less than 20 ns,and the expanded uncertainty of B(AC)measurement is less than 1.5 μs.
