Principle of working
GPS Satellites send signals containing satellites position and time. GPS RX receive signals from 4 satellites at any time, measuring the time difference from satellite to the receiver Distance to satellite = c x time difference Knowing the distances of 4 satellites, position of RX in Long and Lat computed by a process of Triangulation
64
In Detail
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. MEO satellites emit high-frequency radio signals and have atomic clocks set to Greenwich time called ZULU time Received by GPS receiver at the Aircraft, measuring nearest 2 satellites called Acuisition. These signals contain data about exact orbits of the satellites and the time of atomic clocks on the satellites Time taken by the nearest 2 satellites and the aircraft creates a precise triangle informing the pilot his latitude and longitude to within one meter Distance between satellite and RX is computed by Acquisition from the time difference between satellite and received signal d= (c/t) c= 300,000 km/sec

Survivability
Defined as ability of a system or subsystem, equipment, process, or procedure to continue to function after or during a natural or man-made disturbance

Avionic Architecture
Federated and Integrated Architecture, and their distinction
77
Types
1. Federated Architecture- having stand alone systems- Hetero-genious system 2. Integrated Architecture- several avionics functionalities combined into a single computer system with different criticality levels-A380

79
Federated ArchitectureFeatures
1. Simple in architecture 2. Loosely-coupled and heterogeneous architecture as Isolated Black Boxes 3. Every function executed independently, independent of other function 4. Minimum error 5. A major drawback of federated architectures lies in the high risk of massive usage of computing resources 6. Airbus A330 and A340 adopt this kind of architecture.

Federated Architecture

All these Resources shared at the last link in the information chain via controls and displays.
