GPS Technology and Information

Here is some interesting information about Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Basic GPS Technology

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of primarilary US 24 satellites and their ground stations. GPS system uses these "man-made stars" as reference points to calculate relative positions accurate to a matter of meters. In fact, with advanced forms of GPS you can make measurements to better than a centimeter!   In a sense it's like giving every square meter on the planet a unique address.  GPS receivers have been miniaturized to just a few integrated circuits and so are becoming very economical. And that makes the technology accessible to almost everyone. It is common to find GPS electronics cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, movie making gear, farm machinery, even laptop computers.  Soon GPS will become almost as common as the old fashion telephone. .

How GPS works

The basis of GPS is "triangulation" from satellites.

1.  To "triangulate," a GPS receiver measures distance using the travel time of radio signals.

2. To measure travel time, GPS needs very accurate timing which it achieves with some engineering tricks.

3.  Along with distance, you need to know exactly where the satellites are in space.

4.  Finally, any delays the signal experiences as it travels through the atmosphere.

USNO NAVSTAR Global Positioning System

The following Global Positioning System (GPS) information is obtained from the 1994 Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP), prepared jointly by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Transportation (DoT) and other sources such as conferences, meetings and seminars.   For more information.
