Enhancing Time Keeping Accuracy For Low Power Gps Receivers
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising a positioning device for determining position by timing analysis of received signals, the positioning device comprising a system for determining timing accuracy, the system comprising:
- first signal generating means for continuously generating a first clock signal whilst the positioning device is inactive;
second signal generating means for discontinuously generating a second clock signal during a plurality of spaced apart time periods; and
accuracy determining means for determining the accuracy of the first clock signal using timing data from the second clock signal;
the positioning device being arranged to determine position by use of the determined timing accuracy of the first clock.
