This code ensures not only that the same frequency can be used for all satellites, but also that GPS receivers can receive the GPS signals without the need of big satellite dishes. Moreover, Pseudo Random Code also identifies which satellite is sending. When a receiver receives a Pseudo Random Code, the number of the satellite shows up on a screen. The ephemeris data reflects status of satellites, current date and time. The position of a satellite is encoded in almanac data. A receiver decodes almanac data of a satellite ...
