Precise GNSS

(ECTS: 6; SWS: 4)

Lecturers

Dr.-Ing. Peter Steigenberger, Univ.-Prof. Dr.phil.nat. Urs Hugentobler

Theory 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.

Labs in Precise GNSS

Lecturers

Dr.-Ing. Peter Steigenberger

 
Contents

  • development of a simple point positioning tool using MATLAB
  • experiments using a scientific software package (Bernese GPS Software) to study the impact of different effects and analysis strategies on positioning results.
The practical work is accompanied by short presentations by the participants of their results.
 

Prerequisites

  • basic MATLAB knowledge
  • least squares adjustment
