Study Notes

GNSS Fundamentals

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System.

GNSS Functionality

Satellite-based navigation systems locate the user by trilateration, which involves measuring the time delay between when a signal is sent and when it is received.
The user's receiver uses the time delay and the speed of light to calculate the distance from the receiver to the satellite, which is called a "range measurement".
With range measurements from at least four satellites, the receiver can calculate its exact location, velocity, and time.

GNSS Components

Ground stations play a crucial role in GNSS, as they monitor the health and status of the satellites, upload data, and perform various other functions.

GNSS Receiver Functionality

The GNSS receiver uses the transmitted data to determine the location, velocity, and time of the user.

Non-GNSS Systems

The Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is a separate satellite navigation system, not part of GNSS.
