Satellite Navigation Laboratory

What it is about

You implement in six practical sessions the fundamental building blocks of a satellite navigation receiver. In the end you will be able to program the individual receiver blocks, study their convergence and complexity, and assess the quantities and corrections important for satellite navigation.

What you will be able to do

• Implementation of fundamental receiver blocks
• Programming of Acquisition and Tracking
• Calculation of satellite positions and pseudorange corrections
• Application of differential navigation methods
• Analysis of parameter sensitivity and algorithm convergence
• Evaluation of algorithmic complexity and magnitudes in satellite navigation

What the module consists of

• PraktikumYou program under supervision the individual blocks of the navigation receiver; each unit covers a specific block and is subdivided into sub-tasks

Teaching method

• Programmierpraktikumfor direct implementation and deeper understanding of the receiver blocks
• Discussion at the whiteboardto discuss approaches and methods
• MATLAB programs and simulationsas a tool for implementation and analysis
• Skript with exercisesas a guide and exercise foundation for the practicum
