I am taking this out of the "New timing receivers" thread as it is only peripherally related.
As I think about the geometry of satellite position and path length, it seems to me that, since the geometry is determined by the antenna position and not the receiver position, additional antenna cable introduces a fixed delay value and hence a fixed constant that gets added to each path regardless of direction. It seems to me that this would produce a much "fuzzier" solution to position and/or variation in timing. Knowing cable length and propagation velocity, would allow the software to subtract that constant from all ranges and thus provide a more correct position and time solution. Is this not the case? Does it do something simpler but "good enough"? -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 [email protected] +1.916.877.5067 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
