Abstract:A simulation of the Time Keeping System(TKS) on the Global Positioning System satellite was developed to duplicate the characteristics of the hardware. This software aided in the design and testing of the hardware. This paper discusses the instrumentation and the testing of the TKS hardware and associated software by an undergraduate engineering student. It includes the problems she had, how she changed the simulation to match the hardware, and how this experience helped further her Engineering education.The T… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
