GNSS – Global Navigation Satellite System

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System and is an umbrella term that encompasses all global
satellite positioning systems. This includes constellations of satellites orbiting over the earth’s surface
and continuously transmitting signals that enable users to determine their position.

GNSS – Uses

1. Location – determining your position in the world


2. Navigation – identifying the best route from one location to another
3. Tracking – monitoring an object’s movement in the world
4. Mapping – creating maps of a specific area
5. Timing – computing precise timing within billionths of a second

GPS – Techniques

1. Autonomous / Stand Alone


Using a single stand-alone receiver. Used by hikers,
ships that are far out at sea and the military. Position
Accuracy is better than 100m for civilian users and
about 20m for military users.

2. Differential GPS
Differential correction is a technique that greatly
increases the accuracy of the collected GPS data.
It involves using a receiver at a known location -
the "base station“- and comparing that data with
GPS positions collected from unknown locations
with "roving receivers."

GPS – Techniques

2. Differential GPS
It is possible to determine the position of Rover ‘B’
in relation to Reference ‘A’ provided
Coordinates of ‘A’ are known

• Differential Positioning eliminates errors in the


sat. and receiver clocks and minimizes
atmospheric delays
• Accuracy 5 mm - 5 m
