Do hydro lines affect the GPS signal?
probably not, as the Global Positioning System uses data from several satellites to calculate the receivers position. At any given time, there are usually at least 4 GPS satellites above the horizon from anywhere on Earth. Only interference on the GPS frequency can impair the accuracy.
What does a gps satelite do?
A GPS satellite emits a very precise and accurate time signal that the receiver can use to calculate it's distance from the satellite.
Does aluminum block a GPS signal?
GPS is a radio signal. Metals block radio signals. Aluminum is a metal.
How does aluminum block a gps signal?
GPS is a radio signal. Metals block radio signals. Aluminum is a metal.
How do you set time for timex ironman global trainer?
It is automatically set when GPS signal is acquired.
How can a gps system be blocked or jammed?
GPS signal jammers are portable devices that literally means gadgets that stop a GPS tracking device from receiving the signal that without which they cannot pick up their position. They emit their own signal at the frequency that GPS tracking devices use, which confuses or blocks other GPS signals.
What can I do to fix this everytime I key up my CB radio it causes my GPS receiver to lose signal and I have to unplug it and plug it in again to get signal back GPS is outside opposite of antennae?
There is no way to solve the problem. Because of the high power of the CB transmitter and the low power of the satellite signals, the CB signal clips the GPS receiver, and it can even damage your GPS. The CB and the GPS unit work on entirely different frequencies, to be sure, but the fact that a several watt transmitter of any kind is right on top of a GPS unit can hammer the GPS. There is no way to "limit" the radiated power of the CB (if you still want it to work) so that it won't affect the GPS.
Where does gps reciver get its signal?
from satellites in orbit.
How does a GPS receiver calculate its distance from a satellite?
Very easily. The GPS receiver measures how long it takes a certain radio signal to travel from the GPS satellite(s) to itself, and from that, the receiver calculates the distance. It can do that because it knows precisely how fast the radio signal travels.If you have signals from at least 3 satellites, the process of trilateration (not triangulation) pinpoints the location where the 3 distances 'cross' each other. If you have 4 satellites 'locked in', then you will find out your altitude, too. (The process is not quite this simple, but to go on would be confusing.)The hard part is measuring the precise time it takes for a certain radio signal to travel from the GPS satellite to your GPS receiver. Well, hard if you do it, but very easy when the GPS receiver does it!First, each GPS satellite carries an on-board atomic clock. This clock is outrageously accurate, but even so, ground stations connected to the US Navy atomic clock system keep each satellite precisely at the correct time. Your GPS receiver has an on-board high-precision clock of its own.Second, when your GPS receiver first makes contact with the constellation of GPS satellites, it is sent an 'almanac' that lists where each satellite is, what it's precise time is, and other goodies. After reading the almanac, the GPS receiver sets itself to the precisely same time as the satellite constellation.Thirdly, when the GPS receiver gets a signal from the satellites, there is information in it that says precisely at what time the radio signal left each satellite, which is identical for all the satellites. Then your GPS receiver 'looks at its watch' and subtracts the 'sent' time from the 'received' time. The data in the almanac are updated by the satellite constellation every few hours so that your GPS receiver will always know where the satellites are and what their precise time is.Go back to the beginning and reread what your GPS receiver can do once it knows the precise travel time of the radio signal.
Does a GPS vehicle locator work in Antarctica?
As long as the GPS vehicle locator receives signal in Antarctica then it should function properly. You should check with the company that supplies the GPS signal and confirm they have coverage in Antarctica.
How do you scramble gps signal?
transmit a jamming signal on its L1 and L2 carrier frequencies.
What does gps use to locate information about where you are located?
Triangulation to known orbital positions of satellites by measuring signal time delays.
