Abstract
We calculate the special and general relativistic effects of the Global Positioning System (GPS), especially the effects depending on the small deviation of the orbit from the circular one. This effect is well known but, to our knowledge, the detail of its derivation is not known publicly. GPS is widely used in particle physics experiments and this letter may be useful among this community.
