What is GPS?  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah GardensThe Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, with no subscription fees or setup charges.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into orbit for military use, but they were made available for civilian use in the 1980s.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

What’s the signal?  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

Spy Cameras for home Miami Beach hialeah gardens

GPS satellites transmit at least 2 low-power radio signals.

 The signals travel by line of sight, meaning they will pass through clouds, glass and plastic but will not go through most solid objects, such as buildings and mountains.

A GPS signal contains 3 different types of information:  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

  • Pseudorandom code Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  is an I.D. code that identifies which satellite is transmitting information.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  You can see which satellites you are getting signals from on your device’s satellite page.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
  • Ephemeris data Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  is needed to determine a satellite’s position and gives important information about the health of a satellite, current date and time.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

  • Almanac data Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  tells the GPS receiver where each GPS satellite should be at any time throughout the day and shows the orbital information for that satellite and every other satellite in the system.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

GPS Signal Errors Sources  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens   Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

Factors that can affect GPS signal and accuracy include the following:

  • Ionosphere and troposphere delays:Satellite signals slow as they pass through the atmosphere.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  The GPS system uses a built-in model to partially correct for this type of error.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
  • Signal multipath:The GPS signal may reflect off objects such as tall buildings or large rock surfaces before it reaches the receiver, which will increase the travel time of the signal and cause errors.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
  • Receiver clock errors:A receiver’s built-in clock may have slight timing errors because it is less accurate than the atomic clocks on GPS satellites.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
  • Orbital errors:The satellite’s

    reported location may not be accurate.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens

  • Number of satellites visible:The more satellites a GPS receiver can “see,” the better the accuracy. When a signal is blocked, you may get position errors or possibly no position reading at all.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  GPS units typically will not work underwater or underground, but new high-sensitivity receivers are able to track some signals when inside buildings or under tree-cover.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
  • Satellite geometry/shading:Satellite signals are more effective when satellites are located at wide angles relative to each other, rather than in a line or tight grouping.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
  • Selective availability:The U.S. Department of Defense once applied Selective Availability (SA) to satellites, making signals less accurate in order to keep ‘enemies’ from using highly accurate GPS signals.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens  The government turned off SA in May of 2000, which improved the accuracy of civilian GPS receivers.  Spy cameras for home Miami Beach Hialeah Gardens
