9 GPS SIGNALS- CODE PHASE 36 suitable codes are referred to as GOLD-codes (names after a mathematician). For these GOLDcodes the correlation among each other is particularly weak, making an unequivocal identification possible. Navigation Data 50Hz Data, Satellite Almanac, Satellite Ephemeris, Satellite Clock Error GPS Time to UTC Ionosphere Model parameters User Range Accuracy(URA) CODE MODULATES THE CARRIER WAVE PHASE MODULATION: When a data signal shall be modulated onto a carrier signal by phase modulation, the sine oscillation of the carrier signal is interrupted and restarted with a PHASE SHIFT OF 180. This phase shift can be recognized by a suitable receiver and the data can be restored. Phase modulation leads to an extension of the frequency range of the carrier signal (leading to a spread spectrum) depending on how often the phase is shifted. When the phase changes, wave peaks are followed by wave minimums in a shorter distance than were in the original carrier signal (as can be seen in the graph). This kind of modulation can only be used for the transmission of digital data. GPS SIGNAL STRUCTURE SOURCE: /gps/signals.htm 9
10 PRN CODE MODULATION THE BEAT PHASE- DIFFERENCING THE DOPPLER RECEIVED SIGNAL WITH THE RECEIVER GENERATED SIGNAL The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. Therefore, the original carrier frequency and wavelength can be extracted GPS NAVIGATION MESSAGE Each 30 second frame begins precisely on the minute or half minute as indicated by the atomic clock on each satellite. The first part encodes the week number and the time within the week, as well as the health of the satellite. The second part of the message, the ephemeris. The last part of the message, the almanac, contains coarse orbit and status information for all satellites in the network as well as data related to error correction. Signals are encoded using code division multiple access (CDMA) allowing messages from individual satellites to be distinguished from each other based on unique encodings for each satellite (that the receiver must be aware of). Two distinct types of CDMA encodings are used: the coarse/acquisition (C/A or civil) code, and the precise (P) code, that is encrypted so that only the U.S. military can access it. The ephemeris is updated every 2 hours and is generally valid for 4 hours. The almanac is updated typically every 24 hours. 10
11 GPS NAVIGATION MESSAGE MAY
12 NEW SIGNALS BOTTOM LINE: L 5 ( MHz), L 2 C (NEW CIVIL CODE) More robust Faster AR Stronger signal - lower carrier-to-noise-density ratio (c/n 0 ) values than would otherwise be possible. Better signal tracking & differentiation especially at lower elevations means better code positioning under canopy (the better cross-correlation performance means that the reception of weak gps signals is much less affected by simultaneously received strong gps signals, which can be of significant advantage in difficult signal reception conditions.) Code iono error mitigation using L1 C/A, L2C, & P2 differencing (eventually L5 on block IIF & L1C on block III) Longer baseline solutions improved QA/QC with additional frequency checking Faster, more accurate NAV updates L2C has similar multipath characteristics as L1 C/A TIME - WHAT DOES GPS USE? TAI / UT1 TIME International Atomic Time (TAI) as a time scale is a weighted average of the time kept by over 200 atomic clocks in about 70 national laboratories worldwide based on VLBI measurements UT1 is the principal form of Universal Time. While conceptually it is mean solar time at 0 longitude, precise measurements of the Sun are difficult. Hence, it is computed from observations of distant quasars using long baseline interferometry, laser ranging of the Moon and artificial satellites, as well as the determination of GPS satellite orbits. UT1 is the same everywhere on Earth, and is proportional to the rotation angle of the Earth with respect to distant quasars, specifically, the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) UT1 IS ATOMIC TIME KEPT RELATIVE TO THE MEAN SOLAR DAY 24 HOURS USING THE QUASARS POSITION EVERY ROTATION 23h 56 m 12
13 TIME - WHAT DOES GPS USE? UTC TIME Because Universal Time (UTC)is synchronous with night and day, and more precise atomic-frequency standards drift away from this, UT is still used to produce a correction (called a leap second) to atomic time, in order to obtain a broadcast form of civil time that carries atomic frequency. Thus, civil broadcast standards for time and frequency usually follow TAI closely, but occasionally change discontinuously (or "leap") in order to prevent them from drifting too far from mean solar time (UT1). As of 1 January 2011 ( ), 00:00:00 UTC, TAI was exactly 34 seconds ahead of UTC (this is the case since 1 January 2009): an initial difference of 10 seconds at the start of 1972, plus 24 leap seconds in UTC since 1972; the last leap second was added on 31 December 2008 UTC IS ATOMIC TIME KEPT RELATIVE TO UT1 USING LEAP SECONDS. IT IS OUR CIVIL TIME BASIS 24 H TIME - WHAT DOES GPS USE? GPST TIME While most clocks are synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the atomic clocks on the satellites are set to GPS time (GPST): The difference is that GPS time is not corrected to match the rotation of the Earth, so it does not contain leap seconds or other corrections that are periodically added to UTC. GPS time was set to match Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) JAN 1, 1980, but has since diverged. The lack of corrections means that GPS time remains at a constant offset with International Atomic Time (TAI) (TAI GPS = 19 seconds). Periodic corrections are performed on the on-board clocks to keep them synchronized with ground clocks GPST IS ATOMIC TIME KEPT RELATIVE TO TAI STARTING 1/1/1980 GPS TIME ORIGIN = JANUARY 1, 1980, ATOMIC TIME DELAYED 19 SECONDS TO TAI AT ORIGIN (CONSTANT) UTC IS CURRENTLY DELAYED 15 SECONDS TO GPS TIME TIME OF WEEK IN SECONDS FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT = SECONDS GPS PASSED THROUGH ITS 1 BILLIONTH SECOND SEPTEMBER 14 TH (2011).

28 GPS USERS SEGMENT GPS SIGNALS- CARRIER PHASE THE INTEGER AMBIGUITY Resolving the integer ambiguity allows phase measurements to be related to distances D = First Partial Wavelength N = Integer Ambiguity WGS 84 X,Y,Z L1 & L2 CARRIER PHASE L1 = MHz = 154 x MHz L2 = MHz = 120 x MHz And L5 = MHz = 115 x MHz The wavelengths of the carriers are: λ1 = cm Distance = N + D λ2 = cm λ5 = cm 28
29 WHY DOES GPS USE CERTAIN FREQUENCIES? Choice of the carrier frequency: To transport data signals, a suitable carrier frequency is required. -Frequencies should be chosen below 2 GHz, as frequencies above 2 GHz would require beam antennae for the signal reception -Ionospheric delays are enormous for frequency rages below 100 MHz and above 10 GHz -The speed of propagation of electromagnetic waves in media like air deviates from the speed of light (in vacuum) the more, the lower the frequency is. For low frequencies the runtime is falsified. -The PRN-codes require a high bandwidth for the code modulation on the carrier frequency. Therefore a range of high frequencies with the possibility of a high bandwidth has to be chosen. The chosen frequency should be in a range where the signal propagation is not influenced by weather phenomena like, rain, snow or clouds. THE AMBIGUITY SEARCH. The ambiguity is an integer number (a multiple of the carrier wavelength). The integer is different for the L1 and L2 phase observations. The integer ambiguity is different for each satellite-receiver pair. The integer ambiguity is a constant for a particular satellite-receiver pair for all epochs of continuous tracking (that is, as long as no cycle slips occur) The carrier phase measurement from one observation epoch to another is a measure of the change in satellite-receiver range. The determination of the cycle ambiguity integer is known as ambiguity resolution, and is generally not an easy task because of the presence of other biases and errors in the carrier phase measurement.

40 GPS DIVERSIONS GNSS POSITIONING CHOICES- SUMMARY STATIC BEST POSSIBLE GNSS POSITION. Sub-centimeter horizontal and 1-2 centimeters vertical precisions. Network session style. Campaign static requires planning for conditions and logistics. 30+ minute set ups. L1 possible, but dual+ frequency recommended. Requires your post processing or NGS OPUS processing with certain requirements. Rapid or final orbits available. OPUS-PROJECTS will enable network solutions, while OPUS-S, OPUS-RS & OPUS-DB are point positions only. NEAR REAL-TIME FASTEST METHOD FOR SURVEY GRADE POSITIONS. Typically 1 centimeter horizontal and 2 centimeters vertical relative to the base. Few seconds to 3 minutes point positions. Dependent on many variables, e.g. - Accuracy of base/rtn, distance to base/rtn, relative weather, multipath, robust communication, broadcast orbit data, shot comparisons, knowledge & techniques of the user. Processing done in the rover in the field. AUTONOMOUS - FASTEST METHOD FOR A BALLPARK POSITION. 3-5 meters. No phase differential processing is performed- uses code or smoothed code point positions. Few seconds per position. Good for raw navigation for point recovery. Note: future GNSS constellations & signals may yield near decimeter accuracy. GPS Helps Track Babies in Nurseries Hospitals all over the world are starting to use GPS to track newborns in their nurseries as a security measure. CRADLE TO GRAVE GNSS! Instead of looking for a traditional tombstone to mark the final resting place of a loved one, friends and relatives will be able to find the location of the deceased using a GPS device or mobile phone. "The park will look very natural, just grass and trees. There will be no headstones and instead people will be buried in the park and a GPS locator placed in the coffin, Michael McMahon chief executive of the Catholic Cemeteries Board told ABC News. 40
