I was under the impression that GPS was supposed to make your life easier…

www.brickhousesecurity.com – As a part of BrickHouse Security’s commercial series, BrickHouse and New York Detective Rocco Deperno introduce GPS tracking for teen safety. With teen drivers age 16-19 in the highest risk age group for car accidents, parents are looking for new ways to ensure their safety. With GPS tracking, parents can check in on their teen at any time and receive instant alerts via e-mail or text message when they’ve arrived at a certain location, gone outside a certain geographical range, or exceeded a speed limit. Because with knowing they’re safe, comes peace of mind. For more information check out: www.brickhousesecurity.com BrickHouse Security

This video gives you a simple overview of the current GPS system and how it works. It also introduces other GPS systems from, Russia, Europe and China.

I’m getting frustrated trying to find a GPS that works properly in the Seattle area. Just test drove a Tom Tom 550 xxl and it lost the satellite for ages, repeatedly…completely annoying. It’s going back. We also have a Garmin 265w which has sent us across the main road and down back alleys just to end up on the main road again. Is there really not a GPS out there that will just get you from point A to point B without a hassle? I’d love to hear from anyone who drives in downtown Seattle and gets a consistent signal and success with their travels. Thanks.

www.meterdata.com Just when you realized that you had nothing else to do, you decided that it might be a good idea to invest in satellite communication systems. You heard that it was possible from a friend who had connections with someone of the best rocket scientists in the world. Instead of doing nothing you found that global positioning systems might be the way to go. Of course it is going to be far more complicated than this explanation of smart gps but everyone needs to conceptualize the steps that need to be taken.

The GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites are approximately 5.18 m across and transmit two low-power signals, one of which is at 1575.42 MHz (in the UHF band). In a series of laboratory tests on the satellite, you put two 1575.42 MHz UHF transmitters at opposite ends of the satellite. These broadcast in phase uniformly in all directions. You measure the intensity at points on a circle that is several hundred meters in radius and centered on the satellite. You measure angles on this circle relative to a point that lies along the centerline of the satellite (that is, the perpendicular bisector of a line which extends from one transmitter to the other). At this point on the circle, the measured intensity is 2.00 W/m^2

At how many other angles in the range 0 < theta < 90 is the intensity also 2.00 W/m^2?

Find the four smallest( positive) angles in the range 0 < theta < 90 for which the intensity is 2.00 W/m^2.

What is the intensity at a point on the circle at an angle of 4.65 degree from the centerline?

GPS HELIX COIL ANTENNA – L1 BAND 1575.42Hz TRIMBLE GEO XH Made of PVC and zinc coated copper wire. Ground Plane was water jet cut into a perfect circle from steel. All measurements were completed to precision of roughly .01mm using a digital caliper. Ground Plane center was located and tapped, subsequent exit of the RG-58 cable was reamed at the center. Pitch of coil was calulated and verified, and coil position was retained using epoxy and tiny identions to provide the epoxy a cavity to adhere to. Gain of this high profile helix is more than twice of the internal antenna used in this test. The connection between the antenna and device was low loss and less than 6ft. The test was to verify gain or loss in accuracy from the standard internal antenna, future tests will be compared to commercial grade external antennas. Accuracy benchmark was data obtained by NGS for a known point AW0326. For any specific questions or comments: amiraghajani@att.net
