GNSS Technologies
Yksittäinen kurssi
Max amount of FITech students: 50 adult learners
The course discusses various subjects on satellite positioning technology and receiver design, such as signal acquisition and tracking, measurement errors, and integration with INS.
Course contents
- GNSS signal structure: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou.
- How a receiver acquires and tracks the GNSS signal.
- Software receiver design principles.
- Multi-system receivers.
- Hands-on work with software receiver.
- Integration of GNSS with other positioning sensors (e.g., inertial); Kalman filter, tight vs. loose integration.
- Applications.
- Position estimation from GNSS and uncertainty, estimation techniques.
- Robustness and integrity issues.
- GNSS augmentation systems.
Learning outcomes
The objective of the course is that students
- gain a deeper understanding of satellite navigation systems and technologies (e.g. GPS, Galileo) that have wide applicability in today’s society and industry.
- understand receiver design issues in particular with a software GPS implementation.
- learn basics about GNSS/INS integration as well as GNSS with other positioning sensors.
- are able to analyze the performance of various positioning systems by applying the information and tools provided in the course.
Teaching schedule
On Fridays lectures at 8-10 and exercises 10-12.
Completion methods
Exam, exercises and course work assignment.
More information in University of Vaasa’s course page. Course schedule is available in Peppi, when implementation is published.
You can get a digital badge after completing this course.
