Satellite Navigation

What it is about

You will learn how satellite-based navigation systems determine position, time and velocity using radio measurements. You understand influencing factors such as satellite geometry, measurement errors and propagation disturbances, and you know the fundamental algorithms for the design of a simple receiver.

What you will be able to do

• Understand the operation of satellite-based navigation systems
• Be able to evaluate essential performance parameters
• Know algorithms for the design of a simple receiver

What the module consists of

• LectureConveying the fundamentals on signals, orbits, systems and sources of error
• ExercisesDeepening the lecture material; independent work on the tasks, solutions are presented

Teaching method

• Frontal lectureConveying the theory; student questions increase interaction
• Student-centered exercisesIndependent application of the material and discussion of the solutions
