2.1WhatisGPS?
TheGPS(GlobalPositioningSystem)satellitesystemwasoriginallysetupbytheMinistryofDefenseof
theUnitedStatesofAmericainordertoimproveprecisecontrolformilitarypurposes.TheUScongress
grantedfundsatthattimeforsettingupthesystem,howeveronlyontheconditionthatitwasalso
madeavailableforfreecivilianuse.
GPSsatellitessendtwodivergentsignals:anencoded,veryprecisesignalforNATO(P)andan
unencryptedsignalforcivilianpurposes,i.e.foreveryone(L1).YourGPSreceivercanreceivethe
unencryptedsignalforcivilianpurposes(L1).TheciviliansignalcanbeusedbymeansofGPSreceivers
byanyone,atanytime,world‐wideandlicensefreee.g.forvehiclenavigation.
