What is carrier phase in GPS?

Carrier phase tracking is a highly accurate means of positioning used in GNSS surveying applications. The product of the period of the carrier frequency times the speed of light gives the wavelength, which is about 1900mm for the GPS L1 carrier.

What is the difference between code phase and carrier phase GPS?

Carrier phase- GPS measurements based on the L1 or L2 carrier signal. Carrier- A signal that can be varied from a known reference by modulation. Code phase GPS- GPS measurements based on the pseudo random code (C/A or P) as opposed to the carrier of that code.

What is carrier phase observation?

A: Simply put, the carrier phase measurement is a measure of the range between a satellite and receiver expressed in units of cycles of the carrier frequency.

What is carrier phase shift?

The carrier phase shifted pulse width modulation carrier is a triangular wave, the phase shift angle of the triangle wave is related to the submodule position in the converter bridge arm.
