Infos

This book describes the design and performance analysis of satnav systems, signals, and receivers, with a general approach that applies to all satnav systems and signals in use or under development. It also provides succinct descriptions and comparisons of each satnav system.

* Clearly structured, and comprehensive depiction of engineering satellite-based navigation and timing systems, signals, and receivers

* GPS as well as all new and modernized systems (SBAS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS) and signals being developed and fielded

* Theoretical and applied review questions, which can be used for homework or to obtain deeper insights into the material

* Extensive equations describing techniques and their performance, illustrated by MATLAB plots

* New results, novel insights, and innovative descriptions for key approaches and results in systems engineering and receiver design

Autor

John W. Betz, PhD, is a Fellow of The MITRE Corporation and an internationally recognized expert in satellite-based navigation and timing. He is an innovator whose technical contributions and personal involvement have shaped the design of modernized GPS as well as other satnav systems. He is a sought-after speaker and instructor with multiple award-winning publications, and is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Institute of Navigation. His extensive knowledge, combined with his ability to provide a clearly structured and comprehensive depiction of all aspects of satnav engineering, promise to make this book the standard text and reference for this field.

Rezensionen

John Betz's book is a welcome and much needed addition to the GNSS literature. The title includes "engineering" and the book contents and clarity do not disappoint. All GNSS and their signal structure descriptions are rightfully integrated from the start. The organization and detailed treatment of the systems' signal engineering and receiver processing are superb. Text and formulas are supported by highly informative figures in color to facilitate understanding. Questions inserted at the end of selected chapters will help readers to test their skills. The high quality reflects the extensive experience and knowledge of the author. The book is a must for GNSS engineers and graduate students. The use of high quality glossy paper results in a practical format to read and carry around.
