Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students have: Knowledge: • Basic measurements obtained from GNSS systems • GNSS error sources and atmospheric effects • Use of ephemeris data for satellite position and orbit determination • Estimation of the user position, velocity and time (PVT) using GNSS measurements • Differential GNSS, Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS • Signal structures for various GNSS: GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou • Signal processing methods using software-defined radios • Integrity monitoring of single frequency GPS (SBAS, GBAS, RAIM) as well as multi-frequency multi-constellation GNSS Skills: • Know how to implement GNSS PVT estimation algorithms using programming tools (e.g., Matlab, Python) • Know how to setup a differential GNSS system so accuracy improvements can be achieved • Analyze GNSS data to identify error sources and/or faults • Know how to acquire the GPS signal (and possible signals from other GNSS) from a set of software radio data Competencies: • Select the correct GNSS architecture to meet certain target aviation performance requirements (e.g., accuracy) • Solve GNSS-based navigation problems working in small groups
