Gps Loran: The Basic Principle
August 7th, 2008
The time difference between the receipts of signals of a pair of radio transmitters is the basic principle that formulates the working of the GPS Loran system. The given constant time difference between the signals from the two stations is represented using a hyperbolic line of position (LOP). Once the position of two synchronized stations is known, it would not be difficult to assess the position of the receiver. The position of the recover can then be marked somewhere on the hyperbolic curve, provided the time difference between the signal remains constant.
