Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating intersection of technology and fundamental physics, exploring the crucial role of relativity in the Global Positioning System (GPS). While GPS has become an indispensable tool in our daily lives, few understand the complex scientific principles that underpin its accuracy. The author unravels the mysteries of relativity, explaining how time dilation, gravitational frequency shifts, and the constancy of the speed of light impact GPS signals and receiver calculations. Through clear explanations and practical examples, the book guides readers through the process of applying relativistic corrections to ensure precise positioning and timing. Going beyond the basics, the book delves into advanced topics such as time tagging at receivers and transmitters, and the use of carrier-phase measurements. It clarifies common misconceptions and provides a comprehensive understanding of how relativity is integrated into GPS technology. By illuminating the intricate interplay between science and technology, this book underscores the profound impact of relativity on our modern world, demonstrating how these seemingly abstract concepts are essential for the everyday functioning of a technology we often take for granted. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528426152_0
