Charles,

Considering how the UTC parameters (IS-GPS-200H, Table 20-IX and section 
20.3.3.5.2.4) got upset for some of the SVNs, the correction from GPS 
time (as corrected for that PRN) into UTC got a shift of almost 13,7 us. 
As a GPS receiver receives information, solves for position and time 
(fixed timing receivers naturally only for time), correct into GPS time 
and then into UTC you end up with having to select the information from 
one of the GPS satellites for translating the GPS time into UTC time. 
Depending on the state of that GPS receiver, it may or may not select 
this bad info, and it may change selection at any time. That's why we 
have observed receivers of the same brand and same FW fail at different 
times, but starting having problems at the same trigger time. While 
there can be receivers that have some form of protection from this 
particular problem, I guess many don't, and in this case, the specifics 
of the receiver FW and the actual state of the receiver may have cause 
the full range of heavy to no impact. I would be careful to make to much 
judgment of various receivers because of this. It is clear that it's a 
serous hit to at least most of them.


I remember the impacts from PRN 31 and PRN 32. The re-occuring GPS WN 
wrapping issue is another. This instance is rather unique in it being 
related to the ground infrastructure seems to have provided bad upload.


There is an intense amount of work behind the scenes. Some patience will 
be needed before even a minimalistic statement can be found.

Magnus

Update on PRN 32 / SVN 23

According to the NANU this was decommissioned at 22:00 on the 25th. It was 25 
years old http://archive.is/a8GI

Some timing receivers experienced problems, some did not. Don't know why that 
is yet.

So far our count is 8 different GPS timing receivers experiencing problems - 
ranging from mid '90's models, but still in service to the latest new devices. 
Problems included loss of lock, squelching of outputs, pulling the frequency 
off and massive pps jumps. In one case the output of a receiver was so bad it 
was rejected by the equipment it was feeding but the receiver did not alarm!

A couple of units in my lab, based on the latest multi-constellation engine 
from a major supplier, one with Rb one with CSAC, exhibited 5 or 6 phase jump 
events from about 1:45 am until 12:30pm on the 26th. Our support team was kept 
busy from about 2 am on the 26th with at least 7 of our timing equipment 
customers reporting GPS errors.

It looks like bad ephemeris was being broadcast from some satellites.

I would say this is a similar problem to the April 1st 2014 Glonass outage 
reported here http://gpsworld.com/the-system-glonass-in-april-what-went-wrong/

2016-01-26 Thread Magnus Danielson

Hi,

It seems that several SVNs (PRN 2, 6, 7, 9 and 23) got feed bad data. 
This is not the first instance, it seems that single SVNs have had bad 
data the last couple of days.


When our 4 GPS receivers at work got "hit" at midnight, it got our 
attention. Interestingly enough they did not experience issues at the 
same time, it just started about the same time.


Several of my customers also reported issues. Turns out that more people 
seen this.


It will be interesting when a proper analysis comes on this.

Cheers,
Magnus

Presumably, each rx would be affected when it added one or more

would not expect them to exhibit problems in exact synchrony.

Yes, I heard this too. I don't know much about DoD receivers, though.
My guess is they don't show up on eBay for us bottom-feeder types.

BTW, NASA just fixed Jtrack3D for me so you can now select GPS
BIIA-10 (PRN32) from the list of valid satellites.

I also put a cute pair of animated GPS PRN32 orbit tracks at:

 So problems are not a matter of the age of the receiver, but the 
 quality of its programming.

On the 13 December 2006 one operator saw their complete network fail as a
result, which was correlated to the enlargement of the GPS constellation.
The GPS receiver in question was an old 6 channel one. There is nothing wrong
with 6 channels receivers, as long as their firmware propperly handles all
sats. This particular receiver did not do it. Trouble is, their full network
was the same receiver and viewing the GPS receiver as a risk did not seem to
have been on their radar. They had the rugg pull away under their feets.

Hopefully no major failure will result from enabling PRN32. But we can't be
sure. It's not like we are testing all our receivers in GPS simulators for
these kind of situations

Bruce,

An actual test is in order, of course, but speaking as a software
engineer, anytime you hear 0 indicates all and 1 to 32 it's a
pretty good indicator that a 1-origin, 32-bit, fixed-length array is
being used.

I'll dig out my Res-t and give it a try.too. Thanks for the suggestion.

 Which time-nut will be the first to see PRN 32 on Feb 19?
 I wonder what old GPS receivers won't be able to see it?

 This is from GPS World via NavtechGPS News...
 

 The U.S. military announced earlier this week that GPS satellite SVN23,
 transmitting L-band code as PRN32, will be set to usable status on
 Feb. 19. This is notable for a couple of reasons, but namely because
 it is the first time that the PRN32 designation will be used by an
 operational, healthy GPS satellite. 

 GPS receivers initially were built to accommodate up to 31 satellite
 signals, and a PRN designated with the number 32 can't be tracked by
 some manufacturers' devices that look for PRNs numbered 0 through 31.
 The U.S. Air Force began testing the PRN32 designation late in 2006 -
 while SVN23/PRN32 was set to unhealthy and not included in the
 operational GPS constellation almanac, some all-in-view GNSS tracking
 stations received the L-band signal.

Correction:

Looked at wrong datasheet.
Z3815A receiver supposedly has 8 channels.
However it may have a couple of spare channels used for monitoring
untracked SVs.

Currently it tracks 3 and displays 6 untracked.
earlier totals were 3 and 7 resp.
