What is GPS?
• GPS = Global Positioning System
• Satellite navigation system– Radio signals– Worldwide
coverage• System = satellites
+ ground stations + receivers

How does GPS work?
• Trilateration • Distance from
objects (satellites) allows determination of position

How well does GPS work?
Surveying: single-freq, differential = cm to
meters
Handheld: single-freq, real-time = several meters
Geodesy: dual-freq, post-processing, relative positioning = mm to cm

GPS History
• Mid-70s: designed by the Dept of Defense• 1978 = first satellite launch• Early 80s = launched ~10 experimental satellites for
validation of concept (Block I)• 1989 = Block II launches began• 1995 = completed constellation (24 satellites)
declared fully operational• 2000 = “selective availability” turned off• 2005 = first launch of next generation satellites (L2C)

User Segment
• That’s us!• Actually, GPS receivers, antennas, and
processors• Receive GPS signals and use them to
compute position, velocity, and/or time
![Page 12: GPS: Everything you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask Andria Bilich National Geodetic Survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f275503460f94c3e9b2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
GPS signal (1)
Receiver takes in…• 4-12 satellites (in view)• 2 L-band (1-2 GHz) frequencies
– L1 = 1572.42 MHz– L2 = 1227.60 MHz
• Signal components– Carrier (sinusoidal signal)– PRN code (data bits for satellite ID and ranging)– Navigation message (satellite position/velocity
info)• Timing information
![Page 13: GPS: Everything you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask Andria Bilich National Geodetic Survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f275503460f94c3e9b2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
GPS signal (2)PRN codes
• C/A – “Coarse acquisition”
code– Civil use– Chip = 1s = 300m
wavelength– Range +/-30m
• P(Y)– “Precision” code– Military use– Chip = 0.1 s = 30m
wavelength– Range +/-3m– Encrypted (Y code)
to limit access = anti-spoofing3 separate signals:
•On L1 = C/A and P(Y)•On L2 = P(Y) only

Future Improvements
What?• New signals
– L2C (civilian L2) - now– L1C (new civilian L1) - 2013– L5 (aviation) - 2008
• New satellites
Why?• Dual frequency =
remove ionosphere• More options:
– Signal power– Center frequency– Code chip rate– Correlation properties– Interference protection
• Play well with other GNSS…

GPS Observables
Two ways to determine satellite-receiver distance:
• Pseudorange– From the PRN codes– Local code aligned
with incoming signal– Time delay between
local and incoming signal * speed of light = pseudorange
– Precision• C/A: 30 m• P: 3 m
• Phase– From the carrier signal– Local carrier
determines fractional phase
– Integer # cycles + fractional phase = phase
– Precision• L1: 1.9 mm• L2: 2.4 mm

Soil Moisturefrom Multipath
• Multipath = signal travels indirect path = range error
• Ground reflections– Amplitude of
received signal = attenuation at ground
– Soil moisture affects attenuation (reflection coefficient)

Conclusions
• GPS/GNSS have complicated signals … lots of opportunity for science!
• New signals and systems = more complicated = more science
