GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM

Catalog description

Theories and applications of surveying using satellites, focusing on the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The course will begin with the comprehensive overviews of the GNSS, reference and time systems as well as basic orbital mechanics. A description of the satellite signals and the data collected by GNSS receivers will also be covered. Different positioning and navigation techniques for using GNSS data (absolute/relative positioning, static/kinematic positioning, stand-alone/network based positioning) and different user applications will be reviewed, followed by practices of data collections and processing techniques.
