  • In this video, we deep dive into the math behind the Global Positioning System (GPS). Using simple ideas of geometry, we can accurately determine any location on Earth.
    Mathematical thinking skills help us solve problems, and understand and see the world more clearly.

    The explanation and effort to bring the overlaping 3D images was great! Very Nice!

    There's a mistake in your video. If you want to locate the point near the earth, 3 satellites is enough. Beacause one of the 2 points that calculated by 3 satellites is far away from earth, it can't be the results obviously. The reason why need 4 satellites at least is because besides 3 dimentional coordiations, another unknown one is "clock error" of the receiver. Just because the clock on the receivers can't use the atomic clocks like that on the satellites.

    I have a quick question: Wouldn't 3 GPS satellites suffice to pinpoint your exact location on earth? Since you will always get two intersection points, one located on the face of the earth and one somewhere in outer space, couldn't we assume that we are located on the earth?

      the GPS receiver cannot see the earth so it cannot know which of the two points is on the surface

      Explanation in the video is wrong. The 4th sattelite is needed, because the other three distances cant be calculated without error. Thisxerror comes from the unknown sattelite time vs own unprecise timecreference

      You are right. The 4th is needed for time synchronisation.

    I suspect that not every GPS receiver has an atomic clock. How will it work then ? only from the time difference between the received times ?

    • @Michael75579
      @Michael75579 8 місяців тому

      If the clock in your receiver is off (and it almost certainly will be as most receivers don't contain an atomic clock), the spheres won't intersect at a point. Going back to the 2D example because it's easier to visualise, the circles won't meet at a point but will form a "triangle" with three curved sides. The receiver can use this triangle to work out how much it needs to alter its clock so that the circles will meet at a point, then rerun the calculation with this new clock value.

    • @pv7523

      No GPS receiver has atomic clock, It's GPS satellites that have atomic clock synced, GPS receiver simply receives signals from all these satellites and calculates differences in the received time from each satellite.

    The clock in GPS receivers won't have correct time t2 so how does it get this time?
