- Company Profile:
Garmin designs, develops, manufactures and markets a diverse family of hand-held, portable and fixed-mount GPS-enabled products and other navigation, communications and information products for the general aviation and consumer markets.
A transmission path by which radio or other signals are sent from the ground to an aircraft or a communications satellite.
Industry:Telecommunications
The way in which information is exchanged between the GPS receiver and the user. This takes place through the screen display and buttons on the unit.
Industry:Telecommunications
Most Garmin GPS units are waterproof in accordance with IEC 529 IPX7. IEC 529 is a European system of test specification standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. An IPX8 designation is for continuous underwater use.
Industry:Telecommunications
The distance between points of corresponding phase of two consecutive cycles of a wave.
Industry:Telecommunications
The term used to refer to the encrypted P-Code, generated within the satellites and transmitted on both the L1 and L2 carrier signals under the policy of "Anti-Spoofing". Civilian GPS receivers use proprietary signal processing techniques to make measurements of pseudo-range and carrier phase on both L-Band frequencies.
Industry:Telecommunications
A Zero Baseline test can be used to study the precision of receiver measurements (and hence its correct operation), as well as the data processing software. The experimental setup, as the name implies, involves connecting two GPS receivers to the same antenna. When two receivers share the same antenna, biases such as those which are satellite (clock and ephemeris) and atmospheric path (troposphere and ionosphere) dependent, as well as errors such as multipath CANCEL during data processing. The quality of the resulting "zero baseline" is therefore a function of random observation error (or noise), and the propagation of any receiver biases that do not cancel in double-differencing.
Industry:Telecommunications
Your current direction of travel relative to a ground position (same as Course Over Ground).
Industry:Telecommunications
The degrees which must be added to or subtracted from the current heading to reach the course to the intended waypoint.
Industry:Telecommunications
The rate of closure to a destination based upon your current speed and course.
Industry:Telecommunications
A system of satellites and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections for better position accuracy. A WAAS-capable receiver can give you a position accuracy of better than three meters, 95 percent of the time. (At this time, the system is still in the development stage and is not fully operational.) WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message.
