THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM – OVERVIEW
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system operated and maintained
by the U.S. Department of Defense. When fully implemented, the GPS will consist of 24 satellites
providing worldwide 24 hour, coverage. Originally conceived for military needs, the GPS has a broad
array of civilian applications including timing, surveying, marine, land aviation and vehicle navigation.
GPS, the most accurate technology available for marine and land navigation is emerging as the
technology of choice in timing applications including site and network synchronization.
As a satellite system, the GPS is immune from the limitations of land based systems previously
available. By computing the distance to GPS satellites orbiting the earth, a GPS receiver can calculate
an accurate position. This process is called satellite ranging. A two-dimensional position calculation
requires three satellite ranges. A three-dimensional position calculation, including altitude requires four
satellite ranges. GPS receivers can also provide precise time, speed, and course measurements.
