GPS receivers ... with a clock frequency of
I suppose it "reads" the satellite data 10 times per second

Actually, "clock frequency" is likely to be wrong (or ambiguous), and "update rate" maybe be more correct.

GPS receivers operating with a refresh rate (frequency) of 10 Hz
The tech spec of the receiver in question says, in the French version:
Positionnement et acquisition de données 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 5 Hz et 10 Hz
which means: position capture and data acquisition ....
so the soure text is clearly referring to the 'position refresh rate'
Theoretically 'frequency' would be more correct than 'rate', but most people would not be bothered by refresh 'rate' which 'sounds' nicer.

GPS receivers . . . clocked at
None required. All the other suggestions are fine, just unnecessarily wordy.

: There is a significant difference between 'refresh rate' and 'clocked at': the first is usually 10Hz or less, whereas GPS systems are commonly driven from a 1.023 MHz clock.

So, 'refreshed at', for techies who would take any use of the *verb* 'clocked' as a reference to the system clock. Refresh is triggered by the 'refresh rate clock signal'.
