Keywords:

  • Doppler and pseudorange (navigation);
  • pseudorange measurements - basis of measurements in popular Global Positioning System (GPS);
  • Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), allowing signals from satellites to share same spectrum;
  • observed Doppler shift - exhibiting a point of inflection at Time of Closest Approach (TCA);
  • Doppler geometry near to TCA (rectilinear approximation);
  • Doppler-based TRANSIT system - replaced by familiar Global Positioning System (GPS);
  • pseudoranging trilateralization;
  • position determination using ranging;
  • PseudoRandom Number (PRN) code - appearance of being random;
  • good and bad geometric dilution of precision
