Information about RINEX CLOCK FILES

Fellow GPS users,
I am a complete newbie when it comes to GPS. I'm a Ph.D students and
I'm interested about the fault detection applied to Atomic Clocks used
in GPS satellites.
I downloaded some *.CLK data from the IGS ftp site, and i wrote a
simple parser to extract the clock bias related to a specific
satellite, but I don't know how to obtain the phase (and therefore the
freqency) of the atomic clock from the clock bias. Could someone help
me ?
I also readed the guide to "RINEX Extensions to Handle Clock
Information", but I haven't found informations about the procedure
used to obtain the *.clk data from the GPS raw data. Does anyone have
any information regarding that procedure ?
Could someone suggest me a book in which can I learn this kind of
informations ?

Thanks

Riccardo

To avoid the embarrassment of that complexity, GPS analysis is now done exclusively in the Earth-centered inertial frame. ... And the pre-launch adjustment of clock rates to compensate for relativistic effects then hides the fact that all orbiting satellite clocks would be seen to tick slower than ground clocks if not rate-compensated for their orbital motion, and that no reciprocity would exist when satellites view ground clocks. ... Now, if one can provide a way for a ground receiver to synchronize its clock with the satellite clock, a simple measurement of the time delay in the signal received from a satellite in view of the Earthbound user, should result in a precise range to that satellite. ...
