pseudo-random noise (PRN)

Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)

A binary signal with random noise-like properties. It is generated by mathematical algorithm or "code", and consists of repeated pattern of 1's and 0's. This binary code can be ...

R95

Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)

A position accuracy measure. The R95 value is defined as a circle's radius, when centred at the true position, encloses 95% of the data points in a horizontal scatter plot.

Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)

A committee created for the purposes of establishing standards and guidance for interfacing between radio beacon-based data links and GPS receivers, and to provide standards for ...

real time kinematic (RTK)

Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)

The Relative Positioning procedure whereby carrier phase measurements (or corrections) are transmitted in real-time from a Reference or Base Station to the user's roving receiver. ...

real-time DGPS

Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)

A Base Station computes, formats, and transmits pseudo-range corrections via some sort of data communication link (e.g., VHF or UHF radio, cellular telephone, FM radio sub-carrier ...

receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM)

Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)

A GPS receiver system that would allow the receiver to detect incorrect signals being transmitted by the satellites by comparing solutions with different sets of satellites.
