  2. Pseudorandom noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_noise

    A pseudo-noise code (PN code) or pseudo-random-noise code (PRN code) is one that has a spectrum similar to a random sequence of bits but is deterministically generated. The most commonly used sequences in direct-sequence spread spectrum systems are maximal length sequences , Gold codes , Kasami codes , and Barker codes .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals

    There are two navigation message types: LNAV-L is used by satellites with PRN numbers 1 to 32 (called lower PRN numbers) and LNAV-U is used by satellites with PRN numbers 33 to 63 (called upper PRN numbers). [9] The two types use very similar formats. Subframes 1 to 3 are the same, [10] while subframes 4 and 5 are almost the same. Each message ...

    All satellites broadcast at the same two frequencies, 1.57542 GHz (L1 signal) and 1.2276 GHz (L2 signal). The satellite network uses a CDMA spread-spectrum technique [167]: 607 where the low-bitrate message data is encoded with a high-rate pseudo-random (PRN) sequence that is different for each satellite. The receiver must be aware of the PRN ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_moon

    Six of the eight planets of the Solar System host 60 regular satellites [a] combined, with the four giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—hosting the most extensive and complex regular satellite systems. At least four of the nine likeliest dwarf planets also host regular moon systems: Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Orcus.

  8. Gold code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_code

    A Gold code, also known as Gold sequence, is a type of binary sequence, used in telecommunications [1] and satellite navigation . [2] Gold codes are named after Robert Gold. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Gold codes have bounded small cross-correlations within a set, which is useful when multiple devices are broadcasting in the same frequency range.
