CSCE 689: GNSS Reciever Architectures and Algorithms
An introduction to the architecture and algorithms of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers. Starting with the basics of GNSS satellites and their signals, this course focuses on receiver architecture and algorithms required to process received signals into time and position solutions. GNSS signal vulnerabilities and their defenses are covered as well. A software defined radio (SDR) based receiver architecture is used to in both lecture and hands on experiments for processing of the US Global Positioning System (GPS) signals.
