WHAT IS
+ Satellite-base
+ Developed and maintal
Department of Defensef
+ A superaccurate syst
+ Signals are free
+ Unlimited users
+ Round the clock availa
GPS... the advantage
+4 dimensions at one shot (xy.2,t)
+Very high accurate measurements,
+No intervisibility of survey stations:
+ Monuments not enly on top of mountains
+No dependability on weather & time
+ Global and not regional
+ Speed, economy, man power, infrastructure
Global Positioning System
A space based positioning system
satelite based radio navigation system providing
Precise 30 position, navigation & time information to
Suitably equipped users
‘Transition from ground-to-ground survey to ground-
to-space measurements
GPS is Satellite-Based
+ 24 satellites - Initial Operational
Capability
+ Satellites in very high orbit 20,200 KM
(12,600 miles) iWhy we use Satellites for
Mapping
+ Line of sight is not necessary
+ No need to measure distances

How GPS Works
| Mossures the wave time of ao signals
+ Caeultes the distance (ac x ine)
| Knows the sataio’s position
Corrects for any delay in signal
Trilateration from Satellites
+ By dreasuring distance fiom several
sali ya. . How do we know when the signal
B Satellite Ranging left the satellite?
One of the Clever ideas of GPS:
+ Usesame code at receiverand satelite
+ Synchronize satelitas and receivers so
they're generating same code atsametime
Measuring the distance from a satellite
+ Done by measuring travel time of radio + Thenwe lookat the incoming code fromthe
hee sateliteand sechow longago our receiver
~ generated the same code

B Accurate Clocks Functions of Control Stations
Necessary to measure travel time
~Managed by the U.S. Air Force
+ Making sure both receiver and satellite are
synchronized —4 monitoring and 3 upload stations
+ Whole system depends on very accurate —Daily ephemeris (location) updates
clocks ~Transmits clock and orbit corrections
+ Satellites have atomic clocks ~—Disable use of satellites
= Aceuratebur expensive
Degrade accuracy of the signals

Receiver
+ Accuracyachievable 50cm to 30m
Relative Positioning: Two or more
Receivers
+ Accuracyachievable: fewmm
Selective Availability
U.S Government can (and does!) degrade the
accuracy
+ Largest source of error in GPS
+ To prevent hostile forces from using GPS to
full accuracy
+ By introducing intentional errors in timing
signals and/or satellite ephemeris
