Understanding GPS Technology and Applications

GPS uses 24 satellites orbiting 11,000 miles from Earth to provide accurate positioning. It was developed by the US Department of Defense using Doppler effect and the first experimental satellite was NAVSTAR. The GPS receiver calculates the position of satellites in 3D by measuring the time delay between when the satellite transmits a signal and when it is received. It then calculates the distance between the satellite and receiver positions. GPS is accurate depending on measurements of current time, satellite position, and time delay. It has many applications including navigation, tracking vehicles and mobile phones, military targeting, agriculture, and geological mapping.

GPS( Global position system)

Presented by [Link]

INTRODUCTION
GPS is a space based radio positioning system It provides velocity and time information system It consists of 24 orbiting satellites 11,000 million miles away from the earth It can provide accurate position on the earth

HISTORY
It was developed by USDOD Doppler effect The first experimental satellite was NAVSTAR

HOW DOES GPS WORKS ?


There are 24 GPS satellites with a time period of 12hours each for their orbit. Tx the data based on its location & current time Perform synchronize operations Receiver calculates the position of satellite In 3D

There are 3 spare satellite in orbit in case of any failure


Each satellites circles the earth twice a day at an attitude 20,200 km

FREQUENCIES USED
It operates at L band frequencies are L1-1.5GHZ L2-1.2GHZ L3-1.3GHZ L4-1.8GHZ L5-1.17GHZ

RECEIVERS
Radio receivers need to tune with more satellites. This interface with external device such as serial connections, USB. It receives signals from the TX satellites but do not transmit.

CALCULATING POSITIONS

calculates distance between position of satellite & receiver

Receiver measures the time delay between the TX signal & RX signal This delay is multiplied with speed of light give distance of satellite.

ACCURACY
It depends on 3 measurements [Link] time [Link] of satellite [Link] delay

APPLICATIONS
GIP (Geographical information system) GPS determines the location on the surface of the earth then GIP tell features of the object EARTH QUICK DETECTION The sate lights are arranged to visible from any point on the surface GPS measure the movements of the earths crust which will show where the strain is & finds where the earth earth quick faults on

MILITARY GPS allow accurate target of various weapons Most use of the GPS in military can be seen in jamming of any radio navigation system AGRICULTURE GPS is used for guidance of tractors & other large machines In farming the GPS includes the guidance of sprayers, fertilizers etc. NAVIGATION GPS used as a navigation aid in cars, airplanes & ships

VEHICLE TRACKING To detect the location of the vehicle ,person & records the position at regular and create a track file

MOBILE PHONE TRACKING It is similar to the vehicle tracking i. e what we want to tracking from mobile phone we can easy to use &setup in minute

CONCLUSION
It becomes more evident in society Increased its usage &expansion into new area of application Evergreen technology for many more years to come
