A GNSS receiver is an electronic device that receives and digitally processes the signals from a GNSS satellite constellation in order to provide position, velocity and time (of the receiver).
There are several ways to implement a [[GNSS]] (GPS) receiver:
The traditional one is in hardware; a hardware GNSS receiver is conceived as a dedicated chip (i.e., application specific integrated circuits, or ASICs) that has been designed and built (from the very beginning) with the only purpose of being a GNSS receiver. The innovative one is in software. A software GNSS receiver is a GNSS receiver that has been designed and implemented as software running on standard [[Digital signal processor|DSP]] or [[CPU]], following the philosophy of Software-defined radio . Another way is a combination of the hardware and the software solutions
