L-Band
carrier used
by
GPS
satellites to transmit satellite data. The
frequency is 1227.6MHz. It is modulated by
P-code
or
Y-code, and a 50 bit/second navigation message.
lat see latitude.
latitude (lat) the north/south component of the
coordinate of a point on the surface on the earth;
expressed in angular measurement from the plane of
the equator to a line from the center of the earth to the
point of interest. Often abbreviated as Lat.
LED acronym for Light Emitting Diode.

LES Land Earth Station the point on the earth’s surface
where data is up linked to a satellite.
logging interval the frequency at which positions
generated by the receiver are logged to
data files.
long see longitude.
longitude (
long
) the east/west component of the
coordinate of a point on the surface of the earth;
expressed as an angular measurement from the plane
that passes through the earth’s axis of rotation and the
0°
meridian
and the plane that passes through the axis
of rotation and the point of interest. Often abbreviated
as
Long
.
