Chapter 13, Problem 13.1P
To determine
What does the GNSS receiver provide the user?
Expert Solution & Answer
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.

Then a point such as E was marked on the ground on the line between A and B and at a horizontal distance from A equal to 50.00 ft. Finally, with the transit set up over the point E, the difference in elevation between the point A and the transverse axis F of the transit at E was found to be 3.47 ft, and the vertical angle d between the horizontal line through F and the line of sight to the point B was +18º 07'.
