Description
Book SynopsisThe third edition of Artech House's bestseller brings together a team of leading experts to provide a current and comprehensive treatment of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Packed with brand new material, this book contains new chapters on the system engineering details of GPS, European Galileo system, Chinese Beidou systems, GLONASS, and regional systems, such as Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC). It investigates the integration of GNSS with other sensors and network assistance. This book includes new coverage of GNSS receivers, disruptions, errors, stand-alone GNSS performance, differential and precise point positioning. It will teach readers how to build GNSS receivers and integrate them into navigational and communications equipment. It also discuss how similar technology is affecting the marketplace and where best to invest in a company's resources.
Trade ReviewThe previous two editions of this classic treatment on GPS played an important role in my classrooms to educate our next generation GNSS experts. This new edition is further strengthened with additional coverage on new GNSS and RNSS including GLONASS, BDS, QZSS, and NavIC as well as recent advances in navigation technologies such as precise point positioning (PPP) and hybrid positioning systems. To address the demands on growing new applications of navigation technology, the book provided a timely coverage on techniques to integrate GNSS with low cost inertial sensors and other RF signals available on mobile devices for indoor and other areas with GNSS signal blockage. I am looking forward to share these and other new materials in this new edition with my students. -- Jade Morton * Colorado State University *
