Global Positioning System (GPS)

Global Positioning System (GPS) connection methods and receivers involve the techniques and devices used to establish a connection with GPS satellites and receive accurate location information.

• Satellite Constellation: GPS system consists of a constellation of satellites orbiting the Earth.
• Triangulation: GPS receivers calculate location by measuring distances to multiple satellites.
• GPS Signals: Satellites transmit signals with timing and orbital data for position calculation.
• Trilateration: Mathematical technique to determine position based on satellite distances.
• Accuracy Enhancement: DGPS and RTK corrections improve GPS accuracy.
• A-GPS (Assisted GPS): Uses assistance data from networks for faster and more accurate positioning.
• Applications: Used in navigation devices, smartphones, fitness trackers, and more.
