Overview of The GPS System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system which is consists of 24 orbiting satellites, each of which makes two circuits around the Earth every 24 hours. These satellites transmit three bits of information – the satellite's number, its position in space, and the time the information is sent. These signals are picked up by the GPS receiver, which uses this information to calculate the distance between it and the GPS satellites.

With signals from three or more satellites, generally, four satellite signal is pickup by the GPS receiver that can be formed triangulate its location on the ground (i.e., longitude and latitude) from the known position of the satellites. With four or more satellites, a GPS receiver can determine a 3D position (i.e., latitude, longitude, and elevation). In addition, a GPS receiver can provide data on your speed and direction of travel. Anyone with a GPS receiver can access the system. Because GPS provides real-time, three-dimensional positioning, navigation, and timing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all over the world, it is used in numerous applications, including GIS data collection, surveying, and mapping. GPS is one-way ranging system means it is a passive system means the user can only receive the signals from the number of the satellite.

Tutorial on EasyEDA desktop software for PCB and schematic design

In this article, I am going to write a tutorial on how to use EasyEDA desktop application for creating a schematic and for PCB design. One of best advantage of this software is that you can create design offline and can automatically synchronize your design with your online EasyEDA account. It can be used for circuits simulation, PCB deign and electronics circuits design. You can download EasyEDA desktop application by clicking on following link and it will work on windows 7 or its greater version. They are also releasing soon offline application OSX and Linux users. So keep visiting their website for more information. https://easyeda.com/page/download So let’s start and see how to design a schematic and PCB using EasyEDA offline desktop application. So first of all lets see how to create a schema...
