Accurate time synchronisation is critical in modern communication, navigation, and scientific research. In this context, the eLoran receiver, which is an advanced timing device, has attracted increasing scholarly attention. This study aims to comprehensively analyse the performance and potential applications of eLoran systems for timing monitoring and to specifically explore the relevant indices of two eLoran receivers. To this end, we evaluated the performance of these receivers in receiving time signals through both simulated and empirical data and conducted a regularity analysis to uncover their potential value in practical applications. The findings demonstrate that the eLoran receiver excels at timing monitoring and provides highly accurate time information. An analysis of the timing performance of the eLoran system improved its accuracy and integrity.
