Question 968Navigation General

The correct answer is B) Continuous. A continuous GPS receiver has at least four channels to process information from several satellites simultaneously. This allows the receiver to continuously track multiple satellites and provide accurate positioning and navigation data. The continuous tracking of multiple satellites is a key requirement for GPS receivers used in maritime applications, such as those used by US Coast Guard licensed captains. The other options are incorrect because: A) Multiplex receivers track only one satellite at a time, switching between satellites, which is less accurate; C) Sequential receivers track satellites one after the other, which is also less accurate; and D) None of the above is not correct, as the continuous GPS receiver is the type that meets the criteria described in the question.
