Q

The GPS transmitted frequencies are:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Global Positioning System (GPS) uses two main carrier frequencies often referred to as L1 and L2 bands • Typical frequency range for GPS signals is around 1–2 GHz (L-band), not VHF or very high microwave bands • Distinguish GPS frequencies from those used by Inmarsat and other satellite communication systems

💭 Think About

• Which answer choices fall in the L-band range typically associated with GPS (around 1–2 GHz)? • Do any of the frequency pairs look familiar from standard references to GPS L1 and L2 carrier frequencies? • Can you eliminate options that are commonly associated with other satellite services rather than navigation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which pair matches the well-known GPS L1 and L2 carrier frequencies used for civilian and military signals • Verify that the selected frequencies are actually within the L-band (1–2 GHz) allocation for radionavigation-satellite service • Make sure you are not confusing GPS frequencies with those used by Inmarsat or Cospas-Sarsat systems
