Congratulations to NIST station WWVB on its 50th anniversary. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, this month observed the anniversary of the ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) broadcasts atomic clock time signals from Fort Collins, Colorado on various frequencies. The WWVB signal on 60 kHz blasts out 70,000 watts ...

The author is manager of National Institute of Standards and Technology radio stations WWV/WWVH/WWVB. While radio station WWVB may be familiar to readers of this publication, most people would not ...

The wristwatches and clocks that advertise accurate “atomic time” rely on the 60 kHz signal from WWVB in Boulder Colo. to synchronize them to official U.S. time. In the days of analog TV, some ...

NIST is changing the way it broadcasts time signals that synchronize radio-controlled "atomic" clocks and watches to official US time in ways that will enable new radio-controlled timepieces to be ...

[Chris Kuethe] shows how to scavenge what could be a pricey WWVB module from a radio controlled clock. WWVB is a special radio station in Colorado that transmits an atomic-clock-derived signal to RC ...

The project utilizes a PIC16F628 microcontroller in order to create radio controlled clock that originates from NIST Radio Station WWVB that broadcasts on a frequency of 60kHz. The project utilizes a ...
