GPS synchronization

GPS synchronization refers to the process by which Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites maintain precise time coordination with each other and with ground-based receivers. Each GPS satellite carries atomic clocks that keep extremely accurate time. By broadcasting their positions and the exact time they send the signals, these satellites allow receivers to calculate their own position through a method called trilateration. This synchronization ensures that the timing of signals is accurate, which is crucial for determining precise location and navigation, enabling applications such as navigation, mapping, and timing services across various industries.
