Digital satellite navigation and geophysics : a practical guide with GNSS signal simulator and receiver laboratory

Bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical work experience with this hands-on guide to GNSS. A clear, practical presentation of GNSS theory is provided, with emphasis on GPS, GLONASS, and QZSS, together with the key applications in navigation and geophysics. Whether you are a practicing engineer, a researcher, or a student, you’ll gain a wealth of insights from the authors’ 25 years of experience in the GNSS field. You’ll also get hands-on user experience with a bundled real-time software receiver and signal simulator, enabling you to create your own GNSS lab for research or study. Numerous practical examples and case studies are provided, which you can explore using the real signal data provided or generated by you using the signal simulator. Also covered are issues related to GNSS signal propagation and its use in geophysics, including ionosphere mapping, atmosphere monitoring, scintillation measurements, earthquake prediction, and more.
