"Global Navigation for Pilots" by Dale De Remer and Donald W. McLean (published by ASA, ISBN 1-56027031207) goes into depth pretty well. It goes so far as to tell you the frequencies that the satellites transmit on, how many BITS in each segement of the code they transmit, the inclination and altitude of satellites orbits, etc., etc., etc. Of course, only 1 chapter is about GPS, since the book is about NAVIGATION in all it's various forms (including dead reckoning, VOR/DME navigation, and celestial).

Might help you though.
