Precise GNSS
(ECTS: 6; SWS: 4)Lecturers
Dr.-Ing. Peter Steigenberger, Univ.-Prof. Dr.phil.nat. Urs HugentoblerTheory classes (2h) and labs (2h). The aim of the course is to
- get familiar with GNSS, with models involved, and with processing strategies used for precise GNSS positioning applications
- get experience with GNSS data in practical work.
