A pseudorandom noise code modulated onto a GPS satellite's signal to help the receiver compute its distance from the satellite.
the GPS code which is freely available to civilian users, is referred to as the coarse acquisition code and is modulated on the L1 carrier at a frequency of 1.023 MHz
A sequence of 1023 bits that repeat every millisecond. Each GPS satellite broadcasts a unique 1023-bit code to enable receivers to distinguish between satellites. The C/A-Code is only on the L1 carrier frequency on GPS satellites.
(Course Acquisition Code) The standard civilian GPS code - which is subject to degradation by Selective Availability.
The standard (Coarse/Acquisition) GPS code. A sequence of 1023 pseudo-random, binary, biphase modulations on the GPS carrier at a chip rate of 1.023 MHz. Also known as the "civilian code."
The coarse/acquisition or clear/acquisition code modulated onto the GPS L1 signal. This code is a sequence of 1023 pseudorandom binary biphase modulations on the GPS carrier at a chipping rate of 1.023 MHz, thus having a code repetition period of 1 millisecond. The code was selected to provide good acquisition properties. Also known as the "civilian code."
The standard (Clear/Acquisition) GPS code; also known as the "civilian code" or S-code.
