Answer to Problem 13.1P

GNSS is termed as Global Navigation Satellite System. GNSS receiver determines the user position, velocity, and precise time by processing the signals broadcasted by satellite.

Explanation of Solution

GNSS receiver processes the signal in the space transmitted by the satellite. Even though information provided by this receiver can be used in a wide range of applications. GNSS receiver provides the information of position, velocity and time. Therefore, it is also known as PVT.

Initially, GNSS is only used in the military. But with the free availability of GNSS signals and cheap availability of GNSS receivers, it is now widely used in civil, industrial, scientific, and military areas.
