    The document discusses the Global Positioning System (GPS), including how it works by using satellites and trilateration to determine a receiver's location, some sources of error in GPS positioning, and applications of GPS technology such as navigation, tracking, and mapping. GPS is a space-based radio navigation system that provides location and time information to GPS receivers anywhere on Earth with a clear view of at least four GPS satellites.

    Introduction
     The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a space-
    based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and
    operated by the United States Air Force.
     It is a global navigation satellite system that provides geolocation and time
    information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an
    unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
     The GPS project was launched by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1973 for
    use by the United States military and became fully operational in 1995.
     It was allowed for civilian use in the 1980s.
     There are also the European Union Galileo positioning system, China's BeiDou
    Navigation Satellite System, Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (
    GLONASS) India's NAVIC and Japan's Quasi-Zenith Satellite System. 3
    GPS Receiver
    • A GPS navigation device, GPS receiver, or simply GPS is a device that is
    capable of receiving information from GPS satellites and then to calculate the
    device's geographical position.
    • Using suitable software, the device may display the position on a map, and it
    may offer directions.
    • The GPS capability of smartphones may use assisted GPS (A-GPS)
    technology, which can use the base station or cell towers to provide the device
    location tracking capability, especially when GPS signals are poor or
    unavailable

    Parts of a GPS system

    How a GPS receiver works

    • Find the satellites


    • Know where the satellites
    are
    • Figure out D=RxT
    • Trilaterate

    6
    Basic Trilateration
    • D=RxT
    • Rate is Speed of
    light.Time is the key!
    Technology made it
    possible.
    • One you have distance,
    its “easy”

    Basic Trilateration

    11
    Limitations of GPS

    • Must be able to “see” the satellites


    • Requires power
    • Multiple sources of error

    12
    Sources of error in GPS
    • Multipathing
    • Atmospheric Delays
    • PDOP
    • Clocks
    • Orbits
    • Receiver electronics
    • Relativity

    13
    PDOP(Position dilution of precision)
    PDOP(Position dilution of precision)
    PDOP(Position dilution of precision)
    • Blue/Yellow have “good
    geometry” so the (green)
    error box around “x” is
    small (PDOP is small)

    • Red/Yellow have “bad


    geometry” so the (orange)
    error box around “x” is
    large (PDOP is large)

    16
    GPS Applications

    • Global positioning system applications generally fall into 5 major categories:


    1. Location - determining a position 
    2. Navigation - getting from one location to another 
    3. Tracking - monitoring object or personal movement 
    4. Mapping - creating maps of the world 
    5. Timing - bringing precise timing to the world
    Conclusions

    • Barring significant new complications due to S/A (Selective Availability)


    from DOD, the GPS industry is likely to continue to develop in the civilian
    community.
    • There are currently more than 50 manufacturers of GPS receivers, with the
    trend continuing to be towards smaller, less expensive, and more easily
    operated devices.
