Hmmm... You are taking a couple poorly written application notes as
the Bible.

When conducting an acquisition, if you have three satellites, it is
necessary to synchronize the ground and the satellite clocks.
However, when four satellites are acquired, there is no need to impose
a synchronization of the ground and the satellite clocks as long as
the clocks on all the satellites are synchronized among themselves.
Synchronization of the clocks between the ground and the satellite is
much more difficult to achieve than satellite-to-satellite.

That so-called professor from Norway somewhere realized that. To
continue to spread the nonsense of GR, he immediately pounded his feet
to claim the synchronization must be achieved through the operating
frequencies of the satellites and ground equipments. Well, given 500
parts in a trillion, just how accurate do you want these frequency
errors to be? Remember we are talking about a broadband application
with very low actual data bit rate.

Defending a passage from an application note that you know nothing
about is very hilarious indeed, Sam! This is another example of why
the engineers in general are more intelligent than physicists.

The bottom line is that GPS has no applications of SR or GR anywhere
in the system. To claim so, is a lie where:

** FAITH IS THEORY
** MYSTICISM IS WISDOM
** IGNORANCE IS KNOWLEDGE
** PLAGIARISM IS CREATIVITY
** CONJECTURE IS REALITY
** BELIEVING IS LEARNING
** LYING IS TEACHING

Just because your idol Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the
liar was indeed a liar, you don’t have to blatantly lie about GPS.

Light speed is 3x10^8 m/s. A 500 part per trillion error corresponds
to a 15 centimeter positioning error. You need to remember that GPS
doesn't work how _you_ would have designed it, it works differently.
The timing information is how position is determined, as the receiver
has access to precious little else.

You'll note that the relativistic corrections are 100 times larger
than this - ~50,000 ns/day.

Engineers are neither smarter nor dumber, but they have different
educations. You'll note that engineers were the ones who actually
built the global positioning system which happens to use relativity as
a highly important correction, one of many. Did the atmospheric
science cabal force the GPS designers to include ionospheric
corrections in the timing signal too, or is it as important as the
relativistic correction?

So how do you know there is no relativity in the global positioning
system when literally every document involing signal timing cites
relativity at one point or another?

Show us proof that GPS has no relativity in it, if you can. You
somehow know it is true so it should be simple for you to point at the
thing that convinced you, unless it is irrational and emotional
arguments that have no basis in reality.

This is just plain false. Koobee does not know what the GPS actually is.

In particular, the actual GPS has a ground segment with many clocks that
are REQUIRED to remain synchronized with the clocks in the space segment
[#]. In addition, GPS time must remain within 1 microsecond of UTC
modulo leap seconds. Remember that the actual GPS is a military system,
and they require the space segment to continue to meet its requirements
for a month without any ground segment (in military jargon, the
satellites are MUCH more survivable than the ground segment is).

That clearly requires that the time variations predicted and modeled by
GR be incorporated into the system clocks. And, of course, they are.
That simple fact disproves Koobee's claims.

[#] Synchronization is of course in the ECI frame. Note also
that "clock" here means the reading of the clock AFTER the
corrections are applied. The raw reading of the clock is
adjusted for the basic GR effect, but the corrections handle
clock drift and other minor errors. The basic GR effect is about
38 microseconds per day for satellites, far larger than the
corrections. GR is also used to compute some of the corrections
(e.g. time offsets due to the sun and moon; time offsets due
to improper orbit, etc.).


Koobee, please stop making things up and discussing them as if they were
facts.

From "Living Reviews in Relativity" by Neil Ashby" (emphasis added)
-----------------------------
Figure 2 shows the net fractional frequency offset of an atomic clock
in a circular orbit, which is essentially the left side of Eq. (35)
plotted as a function of orbit radius , with a change of sign. Five
sources of relativistic effects contribute in Figure 2. The effects
are emphasized for several different orbit radii of particular
interest. For a low earth orbiter such as the Space Shuttle, the
velocity is so great that slowing due to time dilation is the dominant
effect, while for a GPS satellite clock, the gravitational blueshift
is greater. The effects cancel at . The Global Navigation Satellite
System GALILEO, which is currently being designed under the auspices
of the European Space Agency, will have orbital radii of approximately
30,000 km.

There is an interesting story about this frequency offset. At the time
of launch of the NTS-2 satellite (23 June 1977), which contained the
first Cesium atomic clock to be placed in orbit, it was recognized
that orbiting clocks would require a relativistic correction, but
there was uncertainty as to its magnitude as well as its sign.
*Indeed, there were some who doubted that relativistic effects were
truths that would need to be incorporated [5]!* A frequency
synthesizer was built into the satellite clock system so that after
launch, if in fact the rate of the clock in its final orbit was that
predicted by general relativity, then the synthesizer could be turned
on, bringing the clock to the coordinate rate necessary for operation.
After the Cesium clock was turned on in NTS-2, it was operated for
about 20 days to measure its clock rate before turning on the
synthesizer [11]. The frequency measured during that interval was
+442.5 parts in compared to clocks on the ground, while general
relativity predicted +446.5 parts in . The difference was well within
the accuracy capabilities of the orbiting clock. This then gave about
a 1% verification of the combined second-order Doppler and
gravitational frequency shift effects for a clock at 4.2 earth radii.

You make these distorted statements because you do not understand the
simple mathematics. <shrug>

Here is the mathematics that you need to understand first to
understand GPS.

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/9971008d6e75fbae?hl=en

When conducting an acquisition, if you have three satellites, it is
necessary to synchronize the ground and the satellite clocks.
However, when four satellites are acquired, there is no need to
impose
a synchronization of the ground and the satellite clocks as long as
the clocks on all the satellites are synchronized among themselves.
Synchronization of the clocks between the ground and the satellite is
much more difficult to achieve than satellite-to-satellite.

Hmmm... Physicists like Professor Roberts did Lucent in. Not only
that, he still has trouble like yourself to understand how Garmin’s
concept of receiver design. It says the engineers are making things
work that physicists are still perplexed. In doing so, physicists
just choose to hold on to their mysticism. <shrug>

"The satellite itself has an atomic clock to keep the time very
precisely, but your unit is probably not big enough nor expensive
enough to have an atomic clock built in, so your clock is likely to be
in error! For this reason our assumptions about the distance
calculation are likely to have considerable error and the fourth
satellite fix will reveal this to us. However, if we assume the error
is caused by an error in our clock then we can adjust our clock a
little and recompute all 4 fixes, continuing to do this iteratively
until the error disappears! We will then have a good position fix and
as a side effect we will also have the correct time to about 200
nanoseconds or so. One of the applications of gps technology is to
provide the correct time even when we don't care about our position."

Precision of < 200ns requires relativistic corrections. Demonstrated
amply by NTS-2, Hafele-Keating, anyone who does accurate timekeeping
at NIST, etc, etc.

He doesn't describe the atmospheric corrections used against the
timing signal either like the signal specification says, so is the
spec lying about that too or is this guy's information not complete?

You still don't understand that the system works differently than from

Why do the signaling specifications say otherwise? Why does experiment
show otherwise?

Why can't you prove otherwise by citing actual specifications instead
of a hobbyist writeup that is clearly not complete?

The receivers are irrelevant as they perform no signal corrections, as
has been amply explained to you personally and in the literature on
the subject. Furthermore, the page you cited isn't a valid substitute
for signal specifications.

Apparently you feel that since a hobbyist writeup of how a GPS
receiver works does not describe the relativistic corrections, then
they do not exist. Even though the signal specifications published by
the United States military who had the system designed say otherwise.

So why is the military's publication not proof enough of the content
of the sattelite signal? Do you wish to assume yet another massive
conspiracy?

why not give credit where credit is due,

and call the frequency difference between an Earth bound oscillator,

that results in tick accumulators (Clocks)
accumulating tick differences of 38 microseconds per day

the GALILEO EFFECT?

Note that the 38 microseconds per day difference
can be computed using one Galileo based equation,
and one does not have to use General Relativity
plus 13 hacks to get the right value.

Also note that after Galileo's discovery,
England sent ships all over the world

and Newton used this data
to compute the shape of the Earth,
(Including the bumps.)
and tides all over the world.

I, for one, would like to see the
General Relativity Cultists or Gurus,
duplicate what Newton did
( Compute a few tides.)
using Galileo's discovery and hand calculations.

Are General Relativity Cultists or Gurus babble masters,

Satellite clocks run at a different rate that ground observers and
even when synchronized among themselves will give a totally erroneous
PVT solution in a ground receiver without relativity corrections and
time synchronization. The error would eventually become so great that
the receiver would be looking for satellites on the wrong side of the
earth.

The problem, Potter, is that you perpetually fail to understand

Trial and error might have made some progress toward accuracy and
functionality in global navigation satellite systems, however, that
was not the case. Relativistic corrections were and are an integral
part of the GPS.

The GPS receivers don't have to have atomic clocks to work, given
a sufficient number of satellites, geometry and so on Koobee. But
the system as a whole must have exquisite timing, orbital accuracy
and a good figure of the earth.

common man
do you have difficulty in reading englidh???

my claim is that GR repeat curvature of space time
has nothing to do with the GPS system
space is nothing and therefore cannot have
any properties except hosting mass
if there is no mass in there it does not curve and does not shmerve
the curved movement(of masses!!) is due to some
force agemnts that stem from mass !!!
em waves has mass as well !!!
othoha
he fact that whilwe a mass reaches closer to the c velocity
it becomes more dificult for it to add velocity
so relative to a stationary detector there is a change
measurments ie they do not remain constant
9the relative motion in slow elative movement
is different from that while there is a hihgr movement
of the deteced mass
that is why i agree with SR !!
**but that has nothing to do with GR**
that claimes that space is a sort of force maker
that can curve a movement pass of a mass
waht cuses the curved movement of mass
is
**mass agents that are emmited fromone mass to the other**
as in ***all forces*** that we know
electric magnetic nuclear etc etc

got it once and for all ??
and please dont forget who told you that
for the first time
and write it down in your **new books**

I note with interest that Koobee Wublee doesn't know the difference
between a specification and an application note.

The manufacturers of the GPS-satellites better take
the specification "as the Bible"! :-)

http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/gps/geninfo/IS-GPS-200D.pdf

I quote section 3.3.1.1 from this SPECIFICATION:
<<
3.3.1.1 Frequency Plan.
The L-band signals shall be contained within two 20.46-MHz bands
centred about L1 and L2. The carrier frequencies for the L1 and L2
signals shall be coherently derived from a common frequency source
within the SV. The nominal frequency of this source -- as it appears
to an observer on the ground -- is 10.23 MHz. The SV carrier frequency
and clock rates -- as they would appear to an observer located in
the SV -- are offset to compensate for relativistic effects. The clock
rates are offset by delta_f/f = -4.4647E-10, equivalent to a change in
the P-code shipping rate of 10.23 MHz offset by a delta_f = -4.5674E-3 Hz.
This is equal to 10.22999999543 MHz. The nominal carrier frequencies (fo)
shall be 1575.42 MHz, and 1227.6 MHz for L1 and L2, respectively.
>>

There is nothing to discuss. It is an indisputable fact that
the -4.4647E-10 correction predicted by GR is built into
each and every GPS-satellite, which proves that the GPS works
with the corrections introduced by GR.

This is incredible stupid!
There are 24 satellites in 6 planes. They are moving fast relative
to each other. And you claim that it is simpler to synchronize
the satellites between themselves than to do it form the ground!
It would be virtually impossible!
And it isn't done.
Each SV clock is synchronized to the ground clocks from the ground.

It isn't very smart to lie like this when what I actually said can
be found on Google:

http://tinyurl.com/bdzm4k

It is completely beside the point to repeat over and over
that the small offset in the frequencies sent from
the satellite have no consequences whatsover,
because nobody ever said they had.

Listen autistic idiot:
The reason, and only reason, why the frequency standard is corrected
for relativistic effects is to make the SV clock run synchronously with
the ground clocks.

That the carrier and shipping frequencies also are adjusted is
just a side effect because all frequencies are derived from
the same frequency standard.

Read this:

| -----------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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.
| -----------------------------------------------------------------------

All this stupid fuss about the frequencies emitted from
the satellite is copletely beside the point!

The carrier frequencies, like all other frequencies,
are at the receiver Doppler shifted between +/- 3E-7.
The satellites are moving!
This is equivalent to a frequency shift of the carriers
in the order of kHz. Since the banwidth of the channels
is ca. 20 MHz, this is of no consequence for the receiver.

The Doppler shift may be almost a thousand times more than
the minute GR-correction, so of bloody course the -4.4647E-10
offset is of no concequence whatsoever for the receiver!
AND NOBODY EVER SAID OTHERWISE!

Simple - he found a page giving a good overview of how the system
works, but which happens to leave out some of the minutia which
includes relativity. He concludes that GR isn't in the GPS because the
writings of a hobbyist incorrectly attributed [by wubby] to Garmin do
not mention relativity.

When called upon the overall stupidity of the claim, or on little
details like how the page he cited mentions that GPS time has to be
accurate to within 200ns for the system to work, he snips everything
and runs away in a squid spray of insults and stupidity.

When asked to explain why all the published documentation on the
system disagree with him, he comes up equally empty.

What if you do not correct for that 450 parts in a trillion? Are you
still able to obtain the data information from that 10.23MHz chipping
rate (or IF)? Hint: This is a broadband application!

You are wrong! The satellites do not move fast relative to each
other. In fact each satellite on one plane is stationary to the
others on the same plane. You are totally delusional. Perhaps,
chasing too many chickens. <shrug>

Yes, indeed. Is that too late to get a patent for that?

Yeah, 450 parts in a trillion in a broadband application. Were you

Revision history:
A - 25. Sept 1984
B - 30. Nov 1978
C - 10. Oct 1993
D - 7. Dec 2004
It is 11 years between revision C and D.
So why do you think the last revision is outdated after

But you don't, of course.
You must be pretty desperate to call a valid SPECIFICATION

Listen again. Since a GPS receiver can obtain the almanac data from
at least four satellites, the receiver can generate a set of four
equations with four unknowns. The unknowns can be solved to identify
the space and time information. It now makes no difference if the
satellites are synchronized with the ground stations as long as the
satellites are all synchronized which is much an easier task to
achieve. <shrug>

The task is not that complicated. It is only so because you embrace

Hmmm... Satellite-to-satellite does not introduce any atmospheric
errors while satellite-to-ground does. Your faith in GR and Einstein
the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar being your personal messiah

Is it not the predicted GR correction only accounts for 450 parts in a

I meant chipping rate instead of carrier frequency to be more
precise. <shrug>

So, show me the spec that requires the chipping rate to establish a
system clock of some sort.

So, after you have agreed that the chipping rate really does not have
to be correct on 450 parts in a trillion, what is the fuss all about?

Show me the specification that the chipping rate is fed into another
system to establish a reference clock.

No, homeslice. It don't work that way.

You don't get to cite a hobbyist writeup by someone with no expertise
in the system and then turn around and claim the DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
- not an "application note" - are somehow irrelevant. It is
transparent that you have no support for your claims.

That you are unable to explain why every published reference on the
global positioning system over the last 40 years disagrees with you is
sufficient cause to ignore your dumb ass. Or in my case, mock you
mercilessly for years on end.

Hey Koobee, I take it you've never owned a GPS receiver. Four locked

Anderthal, are you spewing nonsense again? Have you forgotten that
you yourself disproved GR when you stated the motion of the earth is
distinguishable from that of a star, thereby violating the very
principle that GR was made for?

Your tail is so far between your legs that it has come around the back
and covered your eyes.

This could be true in some system other than the GPS. But it is not true
in the GPS. That's because the GPS consists of MORE than just the
satellites and the receivers, and because the actual GPS has
requirements OTHER than just permitting receivers to determine their
position and time. The GPS has a ground control segment whose clocks are
REQUIRED to remain in synch with the space segment's clocks, GPS time is
REQUIRED to remain within 1 us of UTC (modulo leap seconds), and the
space segment is REQUIRED to meet its requirements for a month without
updates or corrections from the ground segment.

There is no way for a receiver's determined time to remain within 1 us
of UTC for a month without the ground segment, unless the much larger GR
correction is applied to the satellite clocks.

Note there are a number of GPS applications that ignore
the positioning data and just use the time data, and rely on
it being with 1 us of UTC. Note also that the GPS is a MILITARY
system, with military requirements and engineering.

In short, you are NOT discussing the GPS, you are discussing some
figment of your imagination.

Are you CrAzy, Strich--the relative velocity between on observer on
the rotating earth, hurtling around the sun, and a distant star is
measured routinely... and some measurement incorporate GTR!

The ring laser interferometer has a laser process that generates two
frequencies of laser light.
In every section of the ring laser cavity, the light propagates with
the same velocity in either direction. For the sake of simplicity,
assume that all emitted photons are emitted in a direction parallel to
the ring. (That is in fact a huge simplification, but it does not
affect the content of this exposition.) The atoms in the laser cavity,
represented as grey dots in the animation, have a thermal velocity,
and on average they have a velocity in counter-clockwise direction
along the ring. The molecules in the laser cavity can be seen as
resonators. A passing photon will stimulate emission of the excited
molecule only if the frequency of the passing photon exactly matches
the frequency of the photon that the molecule is ready to emit.
I understand this but in space as a ring passes through a
gravitational field circles become slightly oblong and stretched even
at non-relativistic speeds so I don’t trust their accuracy since the
circular paths of passing photons will stimulate the wrong emission of
the excited molecules causing the frequency of the passing photon not
to match exactly with the frequency of the photon that the molecule is
ready to emit.

No need for the sun, moon and stars. We routinely measure relative
velocities of cars, baseballs, tennis balls, ping pong balls, bullets,
etc. What are you trying to argue anyway, that GR principle does not
apply?

GPS demystified:

http://electronicdesign.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=15475

Almanac data is only 50 bits per second. This data is chipped by two
frequencies each creating its own broadband signal. One is 1.023MHz
with 1.57542GHz carrier, the other one is 10.23MHz with 1.2276GHz
carrier. That is all.

You are the one who came up with such a requirement. <shrug>

To acquire one’s position, you need to find the following unknows:

** Your position on altitude
** Your position on longitude
** Your position on latitude
** Your time measured in satellite time

Four satellites will send you information on their satellite time and
positions. In doing so, you get a set of four equations. Solving
these four equations, you will get the four unknowns and that will pin-
point your satellite time and position. <shrug>

Either you are claiming mysticism or know something that only the
military knows. In this case, I still call your bluff. As a
physicist working for Lucent, the odds are against you to be involved
with top-secret GPS development. Therefore, you to be demystified:

** FAITH IS THEORY
** MYSTICISM IS WISDOM
** IGNORANCE IS KNOWLEDGE
** PLAGIARISM IS CREATIVITY
** CONJECTURE IS REALITY
** BELIEVING IS LEARNING
** LYING IS TEACHING

It appears that Sam Wormley's Pappy
taught him to lie,
or else he has a serious reading comprehension problem.

As can be seen, in many of my posts,
I have described the affects that
the Galileo Effect (Gravity-acceleration)
the Doppler Effect (Velocity),
and the Hubble Effect (Distance)
have on oscillators,
and upon the perceptions of observers.

"The evidence is in Potter's posting record."

not in Sam Wormley's parroting of lies, over and over.

As my Pappy used to say:

"Don't believe lies and hearsay."

"If you want good information
get it from the horse's mouth,
not from a horse's ass."

It is probably for the same reason your local

A cop in a Ford isn't proof that Chevys are
unserviceable but don't expect anyone at Ford to

Hopefully Eric Gisse will start with the basic General Relativity equation
and demonstrate an audit trail showing where the equation is
in the GPS "specifications", and show where the designers
and computer programmers actually used General Relativity.

No doubt the term "relativity" has been used generically
to indicate the Doppler Effect and the Galileo Effect
but as can be seen, none of the General Relativity Cultists
or Gurus have ever demonstrated an actual instance where
General Relativity was used.

A couple of the Gurus on the taxpayer dole
make the claim that General Relativity was and is
essential to the GPS System, but any system engineer
knows that if you know what the constants are
and what the factors are, it is a simple matter
to compensate for them, and what you call these
adjustments is more politics and hype than reality,

and any system engineer knows that if there are
uncontrollable variables in the system (Like weather)
it is necessary to monitor and compensate for them
if you want to obtain greater accuracy.

I will be looking forward to seeing Gisse
start with the basic General Relativity equation
and show the audit trail to the hardware and software.

No doubt the frequency of oscillators is affected by
acceleration (Altitude),
but Galileo and Newton knew this centuries ago,

and no doubt if an observer has a velocity with respect to
a frequency source, it will affect what he observes,
but Doppler knew this decades ago.

I am pleased to see that Eric Gisse,
who claim to be a high school grad
is interested in "intelligent commentary".

Considering that Gisse claims that General Relativity

was and is essential to the GPS System,

hopefully he will start with the basic General Relativity equation,
and provide references to ACTUAL hardware and computer programs
that use the equation, and show why this cannot be done
with simple offsets and factors.

I must point out that using the same unproven
reference paper by some guy on the taxpayer dole,
is not proof of anything, except feathering his nest,

and clinging to the generic use of "relativity effects"
in various publications

to indicate the Doppler Effect and the Galileo Effect

is also proof of nothing, except the term "relativity"
has been vastly over hyped by the mass media.

General Relativity Cultists cling to the generic phrase "relativity effects"
like Christians cling to "For God so loved the world...",
and Muslims cling to "God is great.",
and Jews cling to "Trust me."

When a General Relativity Cultists
sees or hears the phrase "relativity effect"
they accept it as fact, and no proof is required.

It is interesting to see that Sam Wormley
is ignorant of what his "betters",
those Alabama "hillbillies",
are doing with the GPS system.

As can be seen from the web site below,
these "hillbillies" are using GPS to
map flood planes, traffic lights, power lines, gas lines,
fire stations, fire hydrants, hospitals, traffic cams, railroads, etc.

and are even mapping the layout of schools
and public buildings so they can respond to fires,
tornados, terrorism, and other emergencies.

Hopefully Sammy will provide references
to what his state and his school is doing along these lines.

Perhaps they are so consumed with General Relativity babble,
that they do not have the time and money
to do useful things for mankind.

I might also point out that the "Hillbilly" gal that heads the project
is better looking than Miss America.

http://apb.directionsmag.com/archives/5297-Alabama-DHS,-Google-Offer-Video-on-Virtual-Alabama-Implementation.html

I was surprised to see that Sammy does not know
how an Earth bound GPS receiver can determine
the system time, and its' location from data
transmitted by four satellites.

I would explain this in detail, step by step,
but why waste my time when a General Relativity Cultist
puts more faith in the phrase "relativity effect"
than they do in a logical sequence of steps.

When a General Relativity Cultist
sees or hears the term "relativity effect"
they accept it as fact.


Satellite #1 transmits system time and its' location in orbit.
As it takes between

t this point, the GPS receiver knows the time within

It /is/ done with an offset in the frequency of the transmitted
signal, you stupid fuck.

Don't take it professionally, It is strictly personal.

I am not willing to argue that Einstein's GR didn't
contribute something to GPS. It was likely the best
but certainly not the only tool.

Tom Potter's earlier post well describes numerous other
crank interpretations that have tried to ride GPS's
coat-tails and Rory Coker's page offers sound advice
how that sort of conflation has to be viewed by a
scientist. There is no *comprehensive* relativity that
embraces every ambiguous or absurd interpretation
of the past 100 years so don't take on its defence with
knee-jerk advocacy.

You don't have to clear the mine-field. Just get
across it in one piece.

Kind regards,

Sue...
