Satellite Positioning System

This illustration effectively demonstrates how a satellite positioning system operates, featuring multiple satellites transmitting signals to two ground-based receivers. One receiver is set up on a tripod for mobile or field measurements, while the other appears to be a fixed reference station. The red lines visualize the signal paths from the satellites to both receivers, and an additional red line connects the two ground units, suggesting a differential or relative positioning technique commonly used in high-precision surveying and geodesy.
