:-)
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? :-)
