Satellite navigation receivers are used to receive, process, and
decode space-based navigation signals, such as those provided by
the GPS constellation of satellites. There is an increasing need
for a unified open platform that will enable enhanced receiver
development and design, as well as cost-effective testing
procedures for various applications. This book and companion DVD
provide hands-on exploration of new technologies in this rapidly
growing field.
One of the unique features of the work is the interactive
approach used, giving readers the ability to construct their own
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers. To construct
such a reconfigurable receiver with a wide range of applications,
the authors discuss receiver architecture based on software-defined
radio (SDR) techniques. The presentation unfolds in a systematic,
user-friendly style and goes from the basics to cutting-edge
research.
Additional features and topics include:
* Presentation of basic signal structures used in GPS and
Galileo, the European satellite navigation system
* Design and implementation of a GPS signal generator
* Presentation and analysis of different methods of signal
acquisitiona "serial search; parallel-frequency space search; and
parallel-code phase searcha "as well as code/carrier tracking and
navigation data decoding
* A complete GPS software receiver implemented using MATLAB code
as well as GPS and GIOVE-A signal recordsa "available on the
companion cross-platform DVDa "allowing readers to change various
parameters and immediately see their effects
* MATLAB-based exercises
* A hands-on method of testing the material covered in the book:
supplementaryfront-end hardware equipmenta "which may be purchased
at http: //ccar.colorado.edu/gnssa "enables readers working on a
Windows or LINUX system to generate real-world data by converting
analog signals to digital signals
* Supplementary course material for instructors available at
http: //gps.aau.dk/softgps
* Bibliography of recent results and comprehensive index
The book is aimed at applied mathematicians, electrical
engineers, geodesists, and graduate students. It may be used as a
textbook in various GPS technology and signal processing courses,
or as a self-study reference for anyone working with satellite
navigation receivers.
