Assignment Questions on Module 4


Sl. No. Question
1. What is the abbreviation of GNSS? Define GNSS with a simple diagram
and explain the key functions of it
2. Expand DGPS. Also explain Applications of DGPS in Civil Engineering
3. GNSS signals pass through the atmosphere before reaching the receiver.
Discuss how ionospheric and tropospheric errors differ in their impact on
positioning accuracy and how dual-frequency receivers help mitigate them.
4. A surveyor claims: “Increasing the number of visible satellites always improves
accuracy. “Critically analyze this statement considering satellite geometry (DOP)
and error sources.
5. In a remote desert survey, GNSS readings show consistent positional shift over
time.
Is this more likely due to:
• Satellite clock error
• Orbital error
• Atmospheric delay
• Receiver noise
Justify your answer with reasoning.
