Dwell time (GNSS)

Dwell time in the context of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) refers to the duration that a GNSS receiver spends receiving signals from a specific satellite. This is important for several reasons: 1. **Signal Acquisition**: The longer a receiver dwells on a satellite, the better it can acquire and process the signals. This includes determining the satellite's position and the timing of the signals. 2. **Position Accuracy**: Increased dwell time can lead to improved position accuracy.
