GPS: Theory & Practice

Bernhard Hofmann-Wellenhof

Springer-Verlag New York, Inc.

This new edition adds the most recent advances in GPS technology, although the overall structure essentially conforms to the former editions. The textbook explains in a comprehensive manner the concepts of GPS as well as the latest applications in surveying and navigation. Description of project planning, observation, and data processing is provided for novice GPS users. Special emphasis is placed on the modernization of GPS, covering the new signal structure and improvements in the space and control segment. Furthermore, the augmentation of GPS by satellite-based and ground-based systems leading to future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is discussed.

<p>This edition accommodates recent advances in the technology of the global positioning system (GPS), and considers its full operational status. It shows, in a comprehensive manner, how GPS works, and how it can be used for precise measurements (for example, surveying), as well as for navigation. New material has been added, but the overall structure conforms to the former editions. The basic mathematical models for various modes of GPS operations, and detailed explanation of the practical use of GPS are developed. Description of proper project planning, execution, data reduction and co-ordinate computation is provided for novice GPS users. Additionally, the text examplifies applications and types of projects where different measurement modes are used.</p>

<p>This new edition accommodates recent advances in GPS technology and considers its full operational capability. Updated or new information has been included although the overall structure conforms to the former editions. The textbook explains in comprehensive manner the concepts of GPS as well as the latest applications in surveying, navigation, and attitude determination. Special emphasis is put on the mitigation of Selective Availability effects by applying differential techniques (DGPS) or by using precise orbit and satellite clock information from various services. Description of project planning, observation, and data processing is provided for novice GPS users.</p>
