The geometric range [math]\displaystyle{ \rho_{rcv}^{sat} }[/math] is the Euclidean distance between the satellite and receiver coordinates at the transmission and reception time, respectively:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \rho_{rcv}^{sat}=\left\| {\mathbf r}_{rcv}-{\mathbf r}^{sat}\right \|=\sqrt{(x_{rcv}-x^{sat})^2+(y_{rcv}-y^{sat})^2+(z_{rcv}-z^{sat})^2} \qquad \mbox{(1)} }[/math]
