Dilution of Precision (DOP) is a class of measures of
the magnitude of error in GPS position fixes due to the
orientation of the GPS satellites with respect to the GPS
receiver. There are several DOP’s to measure different
components of the error. Note: this is a unit-less

Doppler Aiding is a signal pro
uses measured Doppler shifts to help the receiver
smoothly track the GPS signal, allowing more precise
velocity and position measurement.
Doppler Shift is the apparent change in frequency o

satellite where both single differences are from the
same epoch.
Dual-Frequency is a type of GPS receiver that uses
both L1 and L2 signals from GPS satellites. A dual-
frequency receiver can compute more precis
fixes over longer distances and under more adver
conditions because it compensates for ionospheric
delays.
Dynamic Mode when a GPS receiver operates in
dynamic mode, it assumes that it is in motion
certain algorithms for GPS position fixing are enabled
order to calculate a tighter position fix.
