Abstract:The propagation time of a signal, emitted by a moving along an elliptical orbit satellite from the GPS (or GLONASS) satellite confi gurations is a very important ingredient of the theory, based on the formalism of the null cone and accounting for the effects of the General Relativity Theory. For the case of satellites, orbiting along a plane elliptic orbit, it has been proved that the propagation time for the signal between the satellites is given by a combination of elliptic integrals of the first, second and… Show more
