How to build and operate GPS receivers-a working resource forengineers
While GPS receivers abound in numerous applications, much of theinformation on their design is scattered in disparate andhard-to-find places. This new work provides engineers who use anddesign GPS systems with a much-needed comprehensive reference onthe operational principles guiding this important technology. Withan emphasis on software-based signal processing-a cutting-edgeapproach expected to dominate future integration of GPS receiversinto cellular phones-the book covers all aspects of receivertechnology as well as the relevant navigation schemes.Concentrating on civilian C/A code used by commercial GPS receivers(rather than military code), Fundamentals of Global PositioningSystem Receivers:
* Describes GPS basics and the constellation of satellites thatcomprise the GPS system
* Examines in detail GPS signal structure, acquisition, andtracking
* Presents the mathematical formulas for calculating a user'sposition
* Illustrates the application of important equations usingcomputer programs
* Explains how to build hardware to collect digitized data for asoftware GPS receiver
* Includes a chapter demonstrating a GPS receiver following thesignal flow
