Mobium GPS Navigation System
Frequently Asked Questions(FAQS)
Q: |
What is GPS? |
| A: |
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a
navigation technology that provides precise time and location
anywhere, anytime and under any atmospheric conditions, by
using the NAVSTAR satellites. The 24 satellites that make up
the GPS space segment are orbiting the earth about 12,000
miles above us. They are constantly moving, making two
complete orbits in less than 24 hours. These satellites are
travelling at speeds of roughly 7,000 miles an hour. GPS
satellites are powered by solar energy. They have backup
batteries onboard to keep them running in the event of a solar
eclipse, when there's no solar power. Small rocket boosters on
each satellite keep them flying in the correct path. |
| Q: |
How does GPS work? |
| A: |
GPS is a satellite-based navigation
system that works by receiving navigation messages from
satellites and calculating locations. GPS receivers locate the
satellites transmitting the incoming signals and use CDMA
(Code Division Multi Access) method to identify individual
codes. This means GPS system is able to identify each
satellite's unique ID to calculate precise location and
navigational data. Here are the steps: |
| |
- All satellites have clocks set to exactly the same time
- All satellites know their exact position from data sent
to them from the systems controllers
- Each satellite transmits its position and a time signal
- The signals travel to the receiver delayed by distance
traveled
- The differences in distance traveled mark each satellite
appear to have a different time
- The receiver calculates its own position.
