Term: Pseudo Random Code (PRC)
Definition: A random sequence sent from GNSS satellites, allowing synchronization between satellites and receivers.
Term: Trilateration
Definition: The method used by GNSS receivers to calculate their position based on the distances from three or more satellites.
Term: Differential GNSS (DGNSS)
Definition: Technique using corrections from a stationary reference station to improve the accuracy of GNSS measurements.
Term: RealTime Kinematic (RTK)
Definition: A surveying method that provides high-precision positioning in real-time using carrier phase measurements.
