ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
- M -
MSB
Most Significant Bit.
Monitor Station
One of five world-wide stations maintained by DoD and used in the GPS control
segment to monitor and control the satellite clock and orbital parameters. Corrections are
calculated and uploaded to each satellite once each day.
Multipath Errors
Errors caused by the interference of a signal that has reached the GPS receiver by two or
more different paths. Usually caused by one path being bounced or reflected.
- N -
NAV
Navigation.
NAV DATA
The 1500 bit navigation message broadcast by each satellite at fifty BPS (Bits Per
Second) on both the L1 and L2 beacons. This message contains system time, clock
correction parameters, ionospheric delay model parameters, the satellite Ephermeris and
health status. This information is used to process GPS signals to obtain the users position
and velocity.
NAVSTAR
The name given to GPS satellites.
NIST
National Institute of Standards Technology.
ns/nsec
Nanosecond.
