GPS chipsets used in GNSS/GPS devices.
Details
frequencies
- L1 : 1575.42 MHz, C/A code 1.023 MHz
acquisition
- cold start : GPS doesn't know anything. It has to get UTC time, almanac, and find out the satellites in view
- warm start : GPS knows UTC time and almanac, but does not know the satellites in view
- hot start : GPS knows UTC time, almanac, and satellites in view
sensitivity
- acquisition : GPS has to discover the satellite
- reacquisition : GPS knows where it should be, but lost it
- tracking : GPS knows where it is, and follows it
DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System), there are several forms
- RTCM, over radio waves
- SBAS, over satellite :
- WAAS - Wide Area Augmentation System
- EGNOS - European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service
- MSAS - Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System
- GAGAN - GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation
- QZSS - Quasi-Zenit-Satellite-System
