  • GPS Transmission Media: How Satellites Send Signals
    GPS uses radio waves as its transmission media.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * GPS Satellites: These satellites transmit radio signals containing navigation data.

    * GPS Receiver: Your GPS receiver (in your phone, car, or other device) receives these radio signals.

    * Signal Travel: The signals travel through the Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere, reaching your receiver.

    Therefore, the transmission media for GPS is the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically the radio frequency portion.
