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.
