NEW! 
450: Software Receivers for GNSS
& Advanced Processing

Register for this tutorial  ~  Back to main tutorials page

 

This course addresses Software Defined Radio concepts and techniques for Global Navigation Satellite Systems and steps through all phases of the receiver signal processing: antenna, front end, low level signal processing, navigation data decoding and position solution.
This first part of the course is built upon the textbook, “A Software-Defined GPS and Galileo Receiver: Single-Frequency Approach” by Borre, Akos, Bertelsen, Rinder, Jensen and goes through the complete open source Matlab-based software GPS receiver. All registered students receive the textbook. The course second part builds on the software receiver expansion for high sensitivity applications and for use in other specific cases, e.g., the Russian GLONASS and Chinese Compass systems.

Software Defined Radios and Front-Ends
• What is a Software Defined Radio
• Advantages of Software Defined Radios as Related to GNSS
• GNSS Front-End Design

 
From Raw Samples to Position
• Traditional and frequency domain acquisition
• Tracking and data bit decoding
• Position solution
  

Advanced Processing
• Rapid high-sensitivity acquisition
• Other GNSS processing (GLONASS, Compass, Galileo)
• Antenna array processing

  

Level: For those with background in GNSS and/or spread spectrum signal processing, and who want to better understand the lower level processing that is taking place within the GNSS receiver and be able to easily adapt that processing for their own needs.
