Talk:Real Time Kinematic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seems like there is an error in this text:

"In general receivers are able to align the signals to about 1% of one bit-width[1]. For instance, the C/A signal sent on the GPS system sends a bit every 1/10th of a microsecond, so a receiver is accurate to 1/100th of a microsecond, or about 3 metres in terms of distance."

Getting rid of the fractions by using nanoseconds makes it easier to follow. Converting to nanoseconds the text says that the bit time is 100ns. Thus 1% of the bit times is 1ns. The text goes on to say the receiver is accurate to 10ns. Something is wrong here. The bit time, the % of the bit time, and the accuracy don't match. 67.142.130.29 (talk) 07:10, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
