GNSS Frequency Bitfields

Each GNSS frequency is a field that contains 8 bits that indicate whether a particular frequency is enabled for a constellation. These are boolean fields with a zero indicating false and a one indicating true. The table below provides a description of each bit, which is a combination of a constellation name and its frequency.
