:-)

Koobee Wublee has repeated over and over that he thinks
the reason for the GR correction is that the frequencies
received by the receiver should be correct.

Here is what I once told him:
(Actually I have told him a number of times, to no avail,
  as this posting of his demonstrates.)

  | Paul B. Andersen responded:
  | The difference in the chipping rate is of course of no consequence,
  | the Doppler shift at the receiver is vastly greater than this anyway.
  | From whence did you get the idiotic idea that anybody would claim
  | this small change in the chipping rate to be of any consequence?
  | It is completely beside the point!
  |
  |_The reason why this shift has to be done is because of the SV clock!_
  |
  | Only one frequency standard is used at any time in the satellites.
  | (there are three standards, the best of them is at any time used)
  | This one frequency standard is used for _everything_ in
  | the satellite, including the clock.
  |
  | The SV clock ticks out one second every 10230000 cycles from
  | this standard. (a frequency synthesizer is obviously used).
  |
  | Now the correction is delta_f/f = -4.4647E-10, that means
  | that the corrected frequency f' = (1 - 4.4647E-10)*f
  | (1 - 4.4647E-10)*10.23000000000MHz = 10.22999999543MHz
  |
  | So what about the 38us?
  | There are 86400 seconds in a day.
  | 86400*4.4647E-10 sec = 385750.08E-10 sec = 38.575008E-6 ~= 38 us
  |
  | Got it?
  |
  |---------------------------------------------------------------------
  | The important point is that if the SV clock rates were not corrected,
  | they would drift out of sync from GPS time after few minutes.
  | The clocks have to be in sync within 100 ns for the GPS to work.

  | Anybody with the slightest knowledge of radio engineering will

  | are Doppler shifted order of magnitudes more than the minute
  | GR correction.
  | The satellites are moving!
  | So what?
  | Why did you think that this should be of any consequence?
  | The bandwidths of the channels are 20.46 MHz, so the GR-correction
  | and the much bigger Doppler shifts are small compared to
  | the bandwidth.
  |
  | The only way GR comes into the GPS is in the correction of
  | the frequency standard, which is necessary to keep the SV clocks
  | in sync with GPS-time within 100 ns during each time the clock
  | can be corrected from the ground (once a day).
  |
  | BOTTOM LINE:
  |  Without the GR-correction, the clocks would drift out of
  |  sync by 38us - hundreds of times more than can be tolerated -
  |  between each time the clocks are corrected from the ground.
  |
  | Got it?
  | It shouldn't be hard to get unless you are a complete moron.
  |
  | And the receivers don't have to worry about the GR-correction!
  | They can safely assume that the time reported by the satellite
  | is correct. (Which it is - because of the GR-correction.)

Still sore, Koobee? :-)

I can understand why.
I have caught quite a few of your many blunders, and I love it
when you give me an opportunity to remind you of them.
So please do.

Maybe a new round on stellar aberration? :-)
