Understanding GPS: Principles and Applications

by Elliott D. Kaplan (Editor)

The intent of this book is to provide a complete systems engineering treatment of GPS, both as a student text and reference for the engineering and scientific community. It covers GPS satellite signal characteristics, satellite orbits, signal acquisition, tracking and data demodulation, PRN codes, ranging using TOA measurements, and the integration of GPS with other sensors and network assistance. The book includes information on international variations of GPS, such as the Russian GLONASS, Chinese BeiDou and Japanese QZSS systems. Also included is a chapter on markets and applications for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
