SATNAV SYSTEM A satellite navigation or satnav system is a system that uses satellites to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning. It allows small electronic receivers to determine their location (longitude, latitude, and altitude/elevation) to high precision (within a few metres ) using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio from satellites.
Time Signal A time signal is a visible, audible, mechanical, or electronic signal used as a reference to determine the time of day .
Line-of-sight propagation
Line-of-sight propagation Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves which travel in a direct path from the source to the receiver.

Where to go ?
• Marking trails with piles of stones (problems when snow falls…or on ocean) • Navigating by stars (requires clear nights and careful measurements) Modern Ideas: • RADAR • GNSS Early Solutions:
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) USA
• Developed by US Department of Defense • 1969-Defense Navigation Satellite System (DNSS) formed • 1973-NAVSTAR Global Positioning System developed • 1978-first 4 satellites launched History of the GPS
• 1993-24th satellite launched; initial operational capability • 1995-full operational capability • May 2000-Military accuracy available to all users History of the GPS
What is GPS and how it works? GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System, is the system today able to show you your exact position on the Earth anytime, in any weather, anywhere.
Satellites There are quite a number of satellites out there in space. They are used for a wide range of purposes: satellite TV, cellular phones, military purposes and etc. Satellites can also be used by GPS receivers .
GPS Satellites The GPS Operational Constellation consists of 24 satellites that orbit the Earth in very precise orbits twice a day. GPS satellites emit continuous navigation signals.
Velocity x Time = Distance * Distance between satellite and receiver T Signal leaves satellite at time “T” Distance =Velocity x Time
GPS determines locations on Earth
Triangulation Geometric Principle : You can find one location if you know its distance from other, already-known locations.
Triangulation Distance measurements from two satellites limits our location to the intersection of two spheres, which is a circle.
Triangulation A third measurement narrows our location to just two points.
Since satellite clocks time is variable a fourth measurement determines which point is our true location Triangulation
GPS is based on satellite ranging, i.e. distance from satellites …satellites are precise reference points …we determine our distance from them we will assume for now that we know exactly where satellite is and how far away from it we are… if we are lost and we know that we are 11,000 miles from satellite A… we are somewhere on a sphere whose middle is satellite A and diameter is 11,000 miles

GNSS - 1
GNSS - 1 GNSS-1 is the first generation system and is the combination of existing satellite navigation systems (GPS and GLONASS), with Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) or Ground Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS). In the United States, the satellite based component is the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), in Europe it is the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), and in Japan it is the Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS). Ground based augmentation is provided by systems like the Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS).
GNSS - 2
GNSS - 2 It is the second generation of systems that independently provides a full civilian satellite navigation system, exemplified by the European Galileo positioning system. These systems will provide the accuracy and integrity monitoring necessary for civil navigation; including aircraft. This system consists of L1 and L2 frequencies (in the L band of the radio spectrum) for civil use and L5 for system integrity. Development is also in progress to provide GPS with civil use L2 and L5 frequencies, making it a GNSS-2 system.
Core Satellite navigation systems
Core Satellite navigation systems Using a core satellite systems allow for autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage without any other information . GPS: Global Positioning System of the US DoD , operational GLONASS: Global Navigation Satellite System of Russia, operational GALILEO: Navigation Satellite System of Europe, in development COMPASS/ BeiDou : Global Navigation Satellite System of China, in development.
Satellite Based augmentation system
GSBAS The performance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) can be improved by regional Satellite-based Augmentation Systems ( SBASs). SBAS improves the accuracy and reliability of GNSS information by correcting signal measurement errors and by providing information about the accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability of its signals.
GSBAS SBAS uses GNSS measurements taken by accurately located reference stations deployed across an entire continent. All measured GNSS errors are transferred to a central computing centre , where differential corrections and integrity messages are calculated. These calculations are then broadcast over the covered area using geostationary satellites that serve as an augmentation, or overlay, to the original GNSS message.
