Accuracy Performance Metrics My System is Better than Yours Availability of Service Integrity (or Reliability) Can I count on my position estimate to be correct? Robustness Can the system withstand small disturbances? Security Challenge: Deliver service like a utility: water or power supply Rigorous, constant maintenance: No screw ups! 2013 Pratap Misra 7
GPS has Set High Standards Delivers a lot more than promised Near flawless performance over 20 years Made it Look Easy A Victim of its Own Success? Satellites last for ever, no screw-ups No urgency in Washington re budgets? Success Breeds Imitators Can GPS Remain #1? Remains to be seen: The race is GPS to lose Not sitting still 2013 Pratap Misra 8

Summary: Take-Away Points Satellite navigation systems exploit basic properties of radio waves: Transit exploited the Doppler effect, GPS exploits the known speed of propagation GPS is based on the old idea of trilateration, but implemented with the technology of the second-half of the 20 th century: space-based radio transmitters, ultra-stable clocks, and spread spectrum signals A GPS receiver measures pseudoranges to the satellites by measuring pseudo-transit times of radio signals. It takes 4 satellites (i.e., 4 pseudoranges) in order to estimate position (x, y, z) and time t With a clear view of the sky, it s easy to get positioning accuracy of several meters with a $100 GPS receiver, or relative positioning accuracy of millimeters with a pair of $1000 receivers. GPS satellites are 20-watt transmitters 20,000 km away, so the signals reaching the earth are very weak and, therefore susceptible to interference. The success and breadth of GPS applications is attributable largely to the chip. The VLSI revolution was well-timed for GPS 2013 Pratap Misra 71
