Advanced Signals and Systems for Satellite Navigation
Ranging signal design considerations will be derived from basic principles and then demonstrated using the specifications of current and modernized GPS and Galileo constellations. Methods for processing these signals will be derived from fundamental theory, and then applied to problems in receiver design, illustrating practical considerations such as finite bandwidth, quantization, clock stability, tracking threshold, and multipath effects. Students will select a relevant topic in recent research and thoroughly investigate it through a literature review and application of the course material.
