Introduction to Satellite Navigation

(ECTS: 4; SWS: 3)

prerequisites		-
objectives		The student shall acquire a solid basis in satellite navigation, understanding the concepts, the algorithms and most of the phenomena from first principle. S/he gains insight into the design principles of past, current, and emerging systems.
contents		Historical introduction: Sputnik and Doppler based positioning – TRANSIT; Side Tone Ranging (STR) Position and time from “ranging”; velocity and clock drift determination Accuracy: Dilution of Precision (DOP) and User Equivalent Range Error (UERE); Satellite orbits, constellations and the navigation message Navigation services and signals: modulation and codes; Cramer-Rao bound Receiver: signal detection, and digital tracking loops for delay, frequency and phase: DLL, FLL, PLL; tracking accuracy Atmospheric propagation: models for the ionospheric and tropospheric delay Reference Systems for time and position: Time Atomic International (TAI) and the World Geodetic Reference System (WGS84). Relativistic Corrections; Lorentz transformation, Sagnac effect, Schwarzschild metric, frequency and time offsets
