Digital satellite navigation and geophysics : a practical guide with GNSS signal simulator and receiver laboratory

High number of high-quality line drawings and photographs not only support the text but also give readers vaulable experience in interprating what they observe in the field. Newest developments in microtectonics have been included in all chapters so that al chapters have been revised and updated, e.g. new information on brittle microstructures "This book is about global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), their two main instruments, which are a receiver and a simulator, and their applications. The book is based on operational off-the-shelf real-time software GNSS receiver and off-the-shelf GNSS signal simulator. The academic versions of these tools are bundled with this book and free for a reader to use for study and research"-- Methods of positioning with navigation satellites -- Presentations and applications of GNSS orbits -- GNSS signal generation in transmitters and simulators -- Signal propagation through the atmosphere -- Receiver RF front end -- Real-time baseband processor on a PC -- Multipath -- Optimization of GNSS observables -- Using observables in navigation related tasks -- Electromagnetic scintillation of GNSS signal -- Geophysical measurements using GNSS signals -- INS aiding in baseband and navigation processors
