What is GPS? GPS, which stands for Global
Positioning System, is the only system today that provides an answer to the question,
Where on Earth am I ? GPS is able to show you your exact
position on the Earth anytime, in any weather, anywhere.

• Global Positioning System was originally established by the U.S.Department of Defence (DOD)for Military purpose at a cost of US$13billion.
• It was made free to all users from May 2000.
• GPS is a short form of NAVSTAR GPS – (Navigation System with Time And Ranging).

GPS Segments
The three parts of GPS are:
• The Space segment - Satellites• The Control segment- Ground
stations• The User segment - Receivers
![Page 5: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Space Segment• There are quite a
number of satellites in space.
• They are used for a wide range of purposes:
• satellite TV, cellular phones, military purposes Remote Sensing etc.
• Satellites can also be used by GPS receivers
![Page 6: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
GPS Constellation• The GPS Operational
Constellation consists of 24 satellites that orbit the Earth at 20200km altitude in very precise orbits twice a day.
• GPS satellites emit continuous navigation signals.
• There are 6 orbital paths with 4 satellites in each.
![Page 7: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Control Segment
• It is a system of tracking stations located around the world near the equator.
• One Master control station at Colarado Springs.
• Four Monitor stations - Hawaii, Kwajalein, Ascension Island and Diego Gracia.
• The path of the satellites are tracked by the monitoring stations.
![Page 8: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• The control stations-• Tracks the GPS satellites• Updates their orbiting position• Calibrates and synchronizes their clocks.• Predict its path for the next 24 hours.
![Page 9: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
User Segment • GPS receivers come in a variety of formats,
from devices integrated into cars, phones, and watches, to hand held devices.
• The GPS receiver is the user segment (US) of the GPS.
• In general, GPS receivers are composed of an antenna, tuned to the frequencies transmitted by the satellites, receiver-processors, and a highly-stable clock).
• They may also include a display for providing location and speed information to the user.

Receivers and Satellites
• GPS units are made to communicate with GPS satellites (which have a much better view of the Earth) to find out exactly where they are on the global scale of things
![Page 11: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Signal Refraction
Signals from satellites can be like light. When they hit some interference (air patterns in the atmosphere, uneven geography, etc.) they sometimes bend a little.
![Page 12: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Light Refraction
Refraction is the bending of light as it travels through one media to another.
Sometimes the GPS signal from the satellite doesn’t follow a straight line.
![Page 13: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Line of Sight Transmissions• Line of sight is the
ability to draw a straight line between two objects without any other objects getting in the way. GPS transmission are line-of-sight transmissions.
• Obstructions such as trees, buildings, or natural formations may prevent clear line of sight.
![Page 14: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Signal Interference
• Sometimes the signals bounce off things before they hit the receivers
![Page 15: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Atomic clocks
• Each GPS Satellite has several accurate Atomic Clocks.
• The clocks operate at a frequency of 10.23 MHz.
• They generate signals that are broadcast from the satellites.
• They broadcast two Carrier waves in L-band which travel at the speed of light.
![Page 16: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
L 1 Carrier Wave
• Transmits two codes:• The C/A Code or Coarse/Acquisition Code
and • The P-Code or the Precision Code.
• The L-2 Carrier transmits one P- Code
![Page 17: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GPS Signals
• Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current time.
• All GPS satellites synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the same instant.
• The signal is just a complicated digital code, i.e. a sequence of “on” and “off” pulses.
![Page 18: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
GPS Signals• A GPS signal contains three different bits of
information :• A pseudorandom code-or an I.D. code that
identifies which satellite is transmitting information. • Ephemeris data which tells the GPS receiver
where each GPS satellite should be at any time throughout the day.
• Almanac data, contains important information about the status of the satellite (healthy or unhealthy), current date and time..
![Page 19: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Time Difference
The GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is.
![Page 20: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude).
• With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine the user's 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude).
• Once the user's position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset time and more.
![Page 21: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Signal Errors• Ionosphere and troposphere delays — The
satellite signal slows as it passes through the atmosphere. The GPS system uses a built-in model that calculates an average amount of delay to partially correct this type of error.
• Signal multipath — This occurs when the GPS signal is reflected off objects such as tall buildings or large rock surfaces before it reaches the receiver. This increases the travel time of the signal, thereby causing errors.
• Receiver clock errors — A receiver's built-in clock is not as accurate as the atomic clocks onboard the GPS satellites. Therefore, it may have very slight timing errors.
![Page 22: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Orbital errors —these are inaccuracies of the satellite's reported location.
• Number of satellites visible — The more satellites a GPS receiver can "see," the better the accuracy. Buildings, terrain, electronic interference, or sometimes even dense foliage can block signal reception, causing position errors or possibly no position reading at all. GPS units typically will not work indoors, underwater or underground.
• Satellite geometry/shading — This refers to the relative position of the satellites at any given time. Ideal satellite geometry exists when the satellites are located at wide angles relative to each other. Poor geometry results when the satellites are located in a line or in a tight grouping.

• Selective Availability (SA): is an intentional degradation of the signal once imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense. Users of Differential GPS are not much affected.
• Anti Spoofing (A-S): Denies civilians and hostile powers the access to the P-code

Geometric Principle of Triangulation
Geometric Principle: You can find one
location if you know its distance from other, already-known locations

GPS satellites use Atomic Clocks for accuracy
1.The dashed lines show the actual intersection point, and the gray bands indicate the area of uncertainty.
2.The solid lines indicate where the GPS receiver "thinks" the spheres are located. Because of errors in thereceiver's internal clock, these spheres do not intersect at one point.
3.The GPS receiver must change the size of the spheres until the intersection point is determined. The relative size of each sphere has already been calculated, so if the size of one sphere is changed, the other spheres must be adjusted by exactly the same amount.

What You can do with a Receiver?
• Mark Waypoints
• Create and view Tracks
• Create a Route
![Page 32: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Waypoints• Waypoints are
locations or landmarks that can be stored in your GPS.
• waypoints may be entered directly by taking a reading with the unit at the location itself, giving it a name, and then saving the point
Latitude and Longitude

Tracks
• Tracks are like footprints. • They show you exactly where you have
moved.• Tracks appear as small dotted lines on
you receivers Map page.• The GPS receiver automatically creates
tracks as you move and displays the dotted lines called as Track log.
![Page 34: GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022063020/56816908550346895de01b99/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Routes• A Route gives you straight line direction
from one point to another or many other points.

How accurate is GPS? today
• GPS receivers are extremely accurate.• Certain atmospheric factors, dense foliage or tall
buildings can affect the accuracy of GPS receivers.
• Garmin GPS receivers are accurate to within 15 meters on average.
• GPS receivers with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability can improve accuracy to less than three meters on average.
