The rate of the clocks is unimportant. what matters is that they are all 
in absolute synch with each other. The readings of the ground clocks 
cancel out in the algorithms. My $80 GPS wristwatch doesn't contain any Cs 
atoms.

Your wristwatch is counting seconds correctly, isn't it?
Your wristwatch is receiving signals from th SV's, isn't it?
Can you please explain the algorithm that can make your
wristwatch count seconds with the right frequency, when
the SV-clocks have an arbitrary (but equal) frequency?

It is, but the idiot you're worshiping
has a different opinion about that.

The watch does not need ultra high accuracy. Its instantaneous readings 
are subtracted from the emission times of four received signals to produce 
four distances using constant c. The received signals do not arrive 
simultaneously but as long as the difference in the watch's time and that 
of the orbiting clocks is accurately monitored, it can be easily corrected 
out. The main requirement is that the arrival time DIFFERENCES are 
recorded accurately and, for that, the watch's rate does not need to be 
highly precise.  Get it?

The speed of the signal from the SVs is not constant.
The signal passes through the ionosphere which is a plasma.
The speed of EM-waves in the L-band are slower in a plasma
than it is in vacuum, so there will be a delay of the signal
when it passes through the ionosphere. The delay will change
with time. To compensate for this there is a 'model' of the
ionosphere in the receiver. Eight parameters in this model
describes the current delay in the ionosphere.
The monitoring stations continuously measure the properties
of the ionosphere and calculate the eight parameters and upload
them to the SVs, which in turn send them down to the receiver.
The varying delay in the ionosphere is the most serious source
of error in the GPS, and the precision would be very poor without
this correction.

Your guesses are wrong.

The only data the receiver needs from each SV is the GPS-time
when the signal it is receiving NOW was sent.
The receiver is tracking the SVs continuously, so at any time
it knows when the signal it is receiving NOW was sent from the SV.

The receiver knows the precise orbit of each SV.
(Nominal orbit + received corrections).
So when the receiver knows the GPS-time when the signal was sent,
it also knows the SV's position. So the receiver knows (x,y,z,t)
for each SV. With these data from four SVs the four unknown
(x,y,z,t) of the receiver can be found.

How the receiver at any time can know the _exact_ time (within
very few ns) when the signal was sent is a rather long story.

You can find the whole story here:

If you really want to learn how the GPS work, I can help you.

But I don't think you want to learn. Or do you?

Of course, It is written in the signal.
But you missed my point. The signals from four clocks do not arrive 
simultaneously. The receiving clock only has to be suficiently accurate to 
measure those smal difference.

> The receiver knows the precise orbit of each SV.
Aha! Actually not exactly. The clocks are not precisely where they are 
believed to be.. 
Orbit ephemerides are calculated on a constant c basis. any orbit 
eccentricity would result in a small error due to c+v.

The point I am making is that the accuracy of the ground clock is not 
important. So all that bullshit about correcting for claimed time dilation 
and gravity is totally irrelevant. The main criterion is that all orbiting 
clocks are in absolute synch, or have known deviations. The GPS system 
would work without any aspect of Einstein's silly theory.

The speed of an EM-wave in the L-band is NOT constant!
It is measured by the monitor stations and the delay is
corrected for in the receiver.

Either you don't read what I write, or you have a serious reading 
comprehension problem.

At _any time_ the receiver knows the GPS-time of the SV when
the signal was sent.
That means that the receiver all the time simultaneously is
receiving the signal from 4+ SVs.

>> The receiver knows the precise orbit of each SV.

Ralph, the GPS is very complicated and it is impossible
to _guess_ how it works. You are guessing horribly wrong!

The receiver knows the nominal orbit for all the SVs.
The monitor stations are tracking the SVs and know their
exact orbits. Ephemerides are uploaded to the SVs so that
each SV knows its own orbit. Each SV is downloading corrections
to its nominal orbit to the receiver.

** The receiver knows the precise orbit of each SV.**

That means that when the receiver knows the GPS-time when signal
was sent, it also knows the SV's position when the signal was sent.

So the receiver will get the information (xₛ,yₛ,zₛ,tₛ) from each SV.

Since the speed of an SV is 3870 m/s, 3ns error in tₛ will only
give ~11.6 μm error in the position of the SV, but tₛ must be precise
by other reasons. See below.

Did you get it?

There are four unknowns to be determined in the receiver,
(xᵣ,yᵣ,zᵣ,tᵣ). With four SVs, you get four equations to determine
these four unknowns.
Solving the equations will give four distances to the SVs.
The distance will be (tₛ-tᵣ)⋅c' where c' is the average speed
of radio signals in the L-band when it is corrected for the
ionospheric delay.
This correction may (will) be different for the four SVs.
If tₛ is 3 ns wrong, then the distance will be wrong by ~1m.

So to keep the precision of the position in the metre range,
the reported time from the SVs must be in sync with GPS-time
within very few ns.

Got it?

If the receiver didn't receive the signals from the four SVs 
simultaneously, and the receiver is moving, you would get four
different (xᵣ,yᵣ,zᵣ,tᵣ) to determine, that's 16 unknowns.
Hard to do with four equations.

Well, you don't want to learn, but I will teach you anyway.

Your claim: "the accuracy of the ground clock is not important."
is plain wrong.
There are several "ground clocks", one in each monitor station.
These clocks are kept in sync with the master clock and GPS-time.
It is the monitor stations which are keeping the reported time
from the SVs in sync with GPS-time. If the ground clocks were
not synchronous, neither would the SV clocks be.

Your statement:
"The main criterion is that all orbiting clocks are in absolute synch"
is almost right. The reported times from the SVs are kept in sync with
GPS-time. They are synchronous in the non-rotating ECI-frame.

Didn't you wonder how "all orbiting clocks are kept in absolute synch"?

Facts:
SI-clock = clock counting seconds as defined by SI.
The clocks in the SV's are SI-clocks adjusted down by
the factor (1-4.4647e-10).
These clocks have then the same rate as SI-clocks on the ground.

That's how Nature factually works and would have worked even
if Einstein was never born.

------

Let's see how the receiver at any time can know the _exact_
time (within very few ns) when the signal was sent from the SV.

The clock in the SV is called "SV clock time" t_SV.
This clock is normally not corrected while the SV is in service.
Since no clock is infinitely precise, t_SV may be several μs
off sync. The GPS-system time is called t.
So to get the correct t, we must add a correction Δt_SV.

The monitor stations are reading the clocks in all the SVs, and
are measuring their offset from GPS-time, their rate error, and
the change in the rate error. These data are uploaded to the SVs
as a correction polynomial. This polynomial is downloaded to
the receiver together with t_SV, and the correction is made in
the receiver.

See: https://paulba.no/div/GPS_clock_correction.pdf
 From the Interface Control Document:
https://www.gps.gov/sites/default/files/2025-07/IS-GPS-200N.pdf

The SV will send the t_SV and the correction polynomial every
6 minutes. That means that the receiver will get the corrected
time t every 6. minutes.

But the receiver must at any time know the time t.
To explain how that is achieved, we must have a closer look
at the signal from the SV.

Each SV has a unique pseudo random code (PRN code). This
is 1023 bits long, and these bits are continuously sent
from the SV. The bits are sent with the frequency 1023 kbps,
which means that each PRN code lasts 1 ms.
The data bits are modulated on top of this continuous stream
of PRN code. The receiver gets the corrected time every
6 minutes, and during the 6 minutes the receiver counts
the PRN codes and add 1 ms to the time for each code.

Thus the receiver at any time knows the time t for 4+ SVs.

There's a book called "Planetary Electrodynamics" from about
four or five decades ago that helps explain the ionosphere
and so on.

That said, "eight factors" is basically zero fixed parameters.
What this means is that satellites are constantly being updated
since it's not essentially reliable the otherwise simplistic
account of what arrives at the $3 receivers.

Some idiot has asserted these distances

Maciej,

If by "some idiot" you mean special relativity, then
please state the claim correctly.

SR does NOT say:

    "The GPS receiver moves faster,
     therefore its measured pseudoranges shrink."

It says that spatial distance between separated objects
is frame-dependent because "distance at the same time"
requires a definition of simultaneity.

Suppose the receiver and satellite have some separation
in the Earth-centered frame.

Now ask:

    What is their spatial separation at the same time
    in the receiver's inertial frame?

You have changed frames.

Therefore you have changed simultaneity.

Therefore the satellite event paired with the receiver
event is generally a DIFFERENT satellite event.

The resulting spatial separation can therefore be different.

That's what length contraction is about.

It is NOT a claim that changing the receiver's velocity
magically changes the distance between a fixed pair of
events.

And it is NOT how an ordinary GPS receiver computes
a pseudorange either.

In GPS we have something quite different:

    satellite emits at t_s

    receiver receives at t_r

and during the propagation time both the geometry and
the relevant positions evolve.

So before calling somebody an idiot, tell us exactly
which quantity you mean by "these distances":

    Earth-frame coordinate distance?

    Receiver-frame simultaneous distance?

    Satellite-frame simultaneous distance?

    Light-travel distance?

    GPS pseudorange?

Those are not interchangeable quantities.


And there is also an amusing quantitative problem if
you're talking about ordinary SR length contraction.

GPS velocities are tiny compared with c.

Take generously:

    v ~ 4 km/s.

Then:

    v/c ~ 1.3 x 10^-5

and:

    gamma - 1 ~ (1/2)(v/c)^2
              ~ 9 x 10^-11.

Even if you NAIVELY applied that Lorentz contraction to
a distance of 20,000 km, the effect would be only about:

    20,000 km x 9 x 10^-11

    ~ 2 millimetres.

Now compare that with the ordinary motion occurring while
the signal is travelling.

Light takes roughly:

    20,000 km / c ~ 67 milliseconds

to cover 20,000 km.

During 67 ms, something moving at 4 km/s travels about:

    4,000 m/s x 0.067 s

    ~ 270 metres.

So we have two completely different orders of magnitude:

    motion during signal propagation:   ~ hundreds of metres

    naive Lorentz contraction:          ~ millimetres

The first is basically an emission/reception geometry issue.

The second is of order v²/c² and concerns comparison of
spatial separations between inertial frames.

They are not the same phenomenon.

So:

    "Some idiot asserted these distances depend
     on the speed of the receiver"

isn't sufficiently defined to be either right or wrong.

Distance between WHAT EVENTS?

Measured HOW?

In WHAT frame?

If you mean GPS pseudorange, say GPS pseudorange.

If you mean Lorentz contraction, say Lorentz contraction.

And if you claim that SR predicts some particular
speed-dependent correction to the four distances Paul
was discussing, give us the equation.

Because otherwise you have merely called an unspecified
person an idiot for making an unspecified statement about
an unspecified distance.

One of the best logicians Humanity ever had should probably
specify the nouns before refuting the equation.

The Shit is mad, but it's not introducing

This is also used to determine the water vapor content and profile of

That's a different matter...although it is probably a neat way to

What do you mean by 'tracking? It doesn't 'track' the clock. The signal 
emission time is written into the signal..and the receiving clock needs to 
be accurate to only about e-9, which crystal oscillators do easily.

The constant c error is correct out by the application of 'relativistic 
corrections'.

It knows where the SV is when it sent the signal, because its position can 
be determined from that time. Not the estimated time based on the ground 
clock's reading. That does not have to be excessively accurate. What does 
have to be precisely known is the relationship between the readings of all 
the SVs at any absolute instant.

It doesn't 'know it'. The time stamp on the arriving signal tells the 
ground clock where the SV was, relative to the Earth's coordinates. By 
subtracting the latter from the former the clock can calculate it distance 
from four clocks and calculate where it is. Again, the main point is, the 
actual SV clock rate doesn't matter one iota. Including the 
'relativivistic correction' is nothing but yet another devious ploy to 
make Einstein's theory appear to work.

Of course. That's how they maintain absolute synch between all SVs, which 
is the fundamental requirement. .but my GPS golf wristwatch only has to be 
roughly accurate because its reading cancels out in the calculations. It 
locates with accuracy of about a half metre.

I did . I particularly noticed that all signalling is assumed to occur at 
constant speed. That's how I discovered why the relativistic corrections 
are necessary. They compensate for that wrong assumption. As pointed out 
in my book (which every physics student should read), we can live with a 
constant c universe, along with its incredibly complicated 'relativistic 
corrections' or a straightforward, easy to understand, variable light 
speed universe. Only an idiot would chose the former.

So you didn't read it?

**The speed of the signal from the SVs is not constant.**

The ionospheric delay varies from a few ns in the night, and to
100ns to 300ns in the day.
In extreme geomagnetic storms the delay may be 300ns.

If the delay was not compensated for, the distance to satellite
would be to long by ~1m in the night and 30m to 100m in the day.


If the speed of light was c+v, then the speed of light from
a satellite short after it has got above the horizon will be c + v
where v = ~1.5 km/s.
The distance to the satellite is d = ~25e6 metres, so the extra
time to reach the receiver is Δt = d/(c+v) - d/v = -393 ns.
This means that c+v would give the distance to the satellite
100m+ shorter than if the speed of light was c.

If the speed of light is c+v, then the speed of light from
a satellite short before it get below the horizon will be c - v
where v = ~1.5 km/s.
The distance to the satellite is d = ~25e6 metres, so the extra
time to reach the receiver is Δt = d/(c+v) - d/v = +393 ns.
This means that c+v would give the distance to the satellite
100m+ longer than if the speed of light was c.

Do you not understand what would happen if you have some
satellites moving away from you, and some moving towards you?

Thanks for demonstrating that the GPS falsifies the emission theory.

You do not know what you are talking about.  The NAVSTAR GPS NTS-2 test
satellite had an unmodified Cs-133-based atomic clock aboard (and a
frequency synthesizer to modify its output, should it become necessary).
 After a few days in orbit, *without* the frequency synthesizer, it was
_ahead_ of the ground clocks, almost precisely as general relativity had
predicted.  Read the report:

And in the meantime in the real world -
forbidden by your insane church improper
clocks keep measuring improper t=t'
in improper seconds.

So what? Anything sent into free fall will change slightly.

How did you get that idea?

And BTW, the ground clock in that test was an _atomic_ clock, too.

38us/day just happens to be exactly fractionally equivalent to the speed 
increase of a falling GPS clock signal. Quite a coincidence, wouldn't you 
agree.
