The GPS week number rollover is a phenomenon that happens every 1,024 weeks, which is about 19.6 years. The Global Positioning System (GPS) broadcasts a date, including a week number counter that is stored in only ten binary digits , whose range is therefore 0–1,023.
As opposed to the year, month, and day format of the Gregorian calendar, the GPS date is expressed as a week number and a seconds-into-week number. The week number is transmitted as a ten- bit field in the C/A and P(Y) navigation messages, and so it becomes zero again every 1,024 weeks (19.6 years).
