GNSS Data Processing Volume 1: Fundamentals and Algorithms

This book is inspired by the welcome package that we offer to our doctoral students when they start their activities in the research group. The original package has been updated and compiled into two volumes which contain a self-learning course and software tools aimed at providing the necessary background to start work in an operative way in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The design and contents are focused on the instrumental use of the concepts and techniques involved in GNSS navigation and it is intended to include all the elements needed to understand how the system works and how to work with it. In this way, after working through the two volumes, the students should be able to develop their own tools for high-accuracy navigation, implementing the algorithms and expanding the skills learned.

The first volume is devoted to the theory, providing a summary of the GNSSs (GPS, Glonass, Galileo and Beidou) fundamentals and algorithms. The second volume is devoted to laboratory exercises, with a wide range of selected practical examples going further into the theoretical concepts and their practical implementation. The exercises have been developed with a specialised software package provided on a CD-ROM together with a set of selected data files for the laboratory sessions. This is an end-to-end GNSS course addressed to all those professionals and students who wish to undertake a deeper study of satellite navigation, targeting the GNSS data processing and analysis issues.
