Study Notes

A GNSS refers to a constellation of satellites that provide signals from space, transmitting positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers.
The receivers use this data to determine the user's location through a version of triangulation, involving calculations from multiple satellites.
Each satellite transmits coded signals at precise intervals, which are then converted into position, velocity, and time estimates by the receiver.

Components of GNSS

Satellites: Provide signals from space for positioning and timing data.
Ground stations: Support the operation of GNSS.
User equipment: Receives and processes GNSS signals to determine positions.

Examples of GNSS

Galileo: Europe's GNSS system.
NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS): The USA's GNSS system.
GLONASS: Russia's GNSS system.
