Course Details
• Space-Based Navigation and Timing Fundamentals: Understanding the basics of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. This unit covers the principles of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and the architecture of space-based navigation systems.
• GNSS Signals and Protocols: Delving into the details of GNSS signals, modulation techniques, message structure, and data encoding. This unit also covers signal authentication and anti-spoofing techniques.
• GNSS Receiver Design and Architecture: Examining the components and architecture of GNSS receivers, including antennas, front-ends, baseband processors, and software-defined receivers. This unit also covers multi-constellation and multi-frequency receivers.
• GNSS Error Sources and Mitigation Techniques: Analyzing various error sources in GNSS positioning, such as satellite clock errors, ionospheric and tropospheric delays, and multipath interference. This unit also covers advanced techniques for error mitigation, such as differential and precise point positioning.
• Integration of GNSS with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS): Investigating the benefits and challenges of integrating GNSS with INS for enhanced navigation performance. This unit covers sensor fusion algorithms, such as Kalman filtering and complementary filtering.
• GNSS Applications and Use Cases: Exploring various applications and use cases of GNSS, such as aviation, maritime, land transportation, agriculture, and surveying. This unit also covers emerging applications, such as autonomous vehicles and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
• GNSS Regulation and Policy: Understanding the legal and regulatory framework for GNSS, including international treaties, national policies, and industry standards. This unit also covers spectrum management and interference mitigation.
• Future Trends in Space-Based Navigation and Timing
