  2. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals

    Whereas the C/A PRNs are unique for each satellite, each satellite transmits a different segment of a master P-code sequence approximately 2.35 x 10 14 chips long (235,000,000,000,000 chips). Each satellite repeatedly transmits its assigned segment of the master code, restarting every Sunday at 00:00:00 GPS time.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_navigational_chart

    An Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) is a digital representation of a real-world geographical area for the purpose of Marine navigation.Real-world objects and areas of navigational significance, or to a lesser degree - informational significance, are portrayed through Raster facsimiles of traditional paper charts; or more commonly through vector images, which are able to scale their relative ...

  4. Binary offset carrier modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_offset_carrier...

    Binary offset carrier modulation [1] [2] (BOC modulation) was developed by John Betz in order to allow interoperability of satellite navigation systems. It is currently used in the US GPS system, Indian IRNSS system and in Galileo [3] and is a square sub-carrier modulation, where a signal is multiplied by a rectangular sub-carrier of frequency equal to or greater than the chip rate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTCM_SC-104

    RTCM Version 2 was released in January 1990 and last updated to 2.3 released in August 2001. [1] RTCM Version 2 is based on a set of fixed-length 30-bit "words" which are strung together into longer messages known as "frames". All words end with a 6-bit "parity" code using the same algorithm as the GPS signals, based on Hamming codes. This ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_code

    A set of Gold code sequences consists of 2 n + 1 sequences each one with a period of 2 n − 1. A set of Gold codes can be generated with the following steps. Pick two maximum length sequences of the same length 2 n − 1 such that their absolute cross-correlation is less than or equal to 2 (n+2)/2, where n is the size of the linear-feedback ...
