Which of the following is NOT a component of a GPS receiver?

Explanation:

GPS:

• GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a radio navigation system used on land, sea, and air to determine the exact location, time, and velocity irrespective of weather conditions.
• This system consists of three segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment.
• The U.S. Space Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments.
• The GPS space segment consists of a constellation of satellites transmitting radio signals to users.
• The United States is committed to maintaining the availability of at least 24 operational GPS satellites, 95% of the time.
• The GPS control segment consists of a global network of ground facilities that track the GPS satellites, monitor their transmissions, perform analyses, and send commands and data to the constellation.
• The user segment consists of the GPS receiver equipment, which receives the signals from the GPS satellites and uses the transmitted information to calculate the user's three-dimensional position and time.

The main components of a GPS receiver are given below:

1. Antenna with pre-amplifier,
2. RF section with signal identification and signal processing,
3. Micro-processor for receiver control, data sampling, and data processing,
4. Precision oscillator,
5. Power supply,
6. User interface, command, and display panel,
7. Memory, data storage.

​Transmitter is not a component of GPS receiver. Hence option (1) is correct.
