GPS (global positioning system)
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 modulated on the GPS ...
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.
Radio Technical Commission For Maritime Services (RTCM) Special Committee 104
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 ground-based ...
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. Centimetre accuracy ...
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 or satellite com ...
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.
RINEX
Telecommunications; GPS (global positioning system)
