Hi Since you have massive doppler on the signals, it’s not practical to get frequency directly from the SV’s. All of our “frequency” information comes from time data extracted one way or the other from the signal. Either we do it directly from the broadcast data or indirectly from stuff like carrier phase comparisons.
The quality of the time (and thus frequency) from GPS has gotten steadily better over the years. It is quite possible that they have added this or that to the steering process as things evolved. It clock tuning one of those things? Who knows… I suspect it is, but I have no real data to back up that guess.
