Carrier phase tracking is just a method of determining more precisely (down to small fractions of a nano-second) the difference between the receiver's clock (which is accurate enough in the short term) and the satellite's clock. The result is still multiplied by the fixed speed of light to convert it to a distance. Sylvia.
