Navtech is the exclusive distributor of this exciting text on
GPS.
This
book offers a comprehensive introduction to GPS: the system, signals,
receivers, measurements, and algorithms for estimation of position,
velocity, and time. It is intended both as a textbook for a senior- or
graduate-level engineering course and a self-study guide for science majors.
The book is divided into
four parts. Part I introduces radionavigation and
the basic framework for a global positioning system, including coordinate
frames, time references, and satellite orbits. Part II takes the student to
the fruits of GPS: estimation of position, velocity, and time. Part III
discusses the ingenious structure of the GPS signals, and the signal
processing steps required to extract the necessary measurements from these
signals.
Part IV Addresses GPS receivers from acquisition and tracking to RFI.
To
give the student a hands-on experience with GPS, this book includes a CD
with a number of GPS data sets from several sites and a set of homework
problems.

Praise
for the First Edition-
“…an
excellent graduate level textbook on GPS crafted by two master
teachers. The
authors have succeeded in providing broad coverage of the
workings of GPS without missing important details, and have done
so in a coherent and readable form.
-Professor Penina
Axelrad,
University
of
Colorado
at
Boulder
.
“This
is a suberb book… The authors are to be complimented for being
up to date in a rapidly changing GPS environment.”
-Dr. Myron
Kayton, Consultant
“This
is the book to use to educate those people, more and more in
demand, that not only know how to use GPS equipment and the
measurements produced by them, but also have a fundamental
understanding of how GPS technology and GPs sensors
proliferation everywhere in society actually function.”
-Professor Martin Vermeer,
Helsinki
University
of Technology
