1.1. Principles of Operation
Measuring with the right GNSS receiver can provide users accurate and precise positioning, a
requirement for any measuring project. This section gives an overview of existing and proposed
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and receiver functions to help you understand and
apply basic operating principles, allowing you to get the most out of your receiver.
1.1.1. GNSS Overview
Currently, the following three global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) offer line-of-site radio
navigation and positioning, velocity, and time services on a global, all-weather scale to any user
equipped with a GNSS tracking receiver on or near the Earth’s surface:
• GPS – the Global Positioning System maintained and operated by the United States
Department of Defense. For information on the status of this system, visit the US Naval
Observatory website (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/) or the US Coast Guard website (http://
www.navcen.uscg.gov/).
• GLONASS – the Global Navigation Satellite System maintained and operated by the
Russian Federation Ministry of Defense. For information on the status of this system, visit
the Coordinational Scientific Information Center website (http://www.glonasscenter.ru/
frame_e.html).
• Galileo – an upcoming global positioning system maintained and operated by Galileo
Industries, a joint venture of several European space agencies/companies working closely
with the European Space Agency. Unlike GPS and GLONASS, this is a civil endeavor and
is currently in the development and validation stage. For information on the status of this
system, visit the Galileo Industries website (http://www.galileo-industries.net).
Despite numerous technical differences in the implementation of these systems, satellite
positioning systems have three essential components:
• Space – GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellites orbit approximately 12,000 nautical miles
above Earth and are equipped with a clock and radio. These satellites broadcast ranging
signals and various digital information (ephemerides, almanacs, time&frequency
corrections, etc.).
• Control – Ground stations located around the Earth that monitor the satellites and upload
data, including clock corrections and new ephemerides (satellite positions as a function of
time), to ensure the satellites transmit data properly.
• User – The community and military that use GNSS receivers to calculate positions.
