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.

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.

Will fiberglass block a gps signal?

Fiberglass should not block a GPS signal as it is a non-conductive material. GPS signals are radio waves that can pass through most non-metallic materials, so fiberglass should not interfere with the reception of a GPS signal.


What kind of a signal does a GPS give off?

Your hand-held GPS is a receiver. It listens to signals fromGPS satellites, and doesn't "give off" any signal of its own.


What frequency does GPS use for its signal transmission?

GPS uses radio frequency signals in the L1 (1575.42 MHz) and L2 (1227.60 MHz) bands for its signal transmission.
