GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS. VOLUME I

The purpose of this book is to accelerate the understanding of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and encourage new and innovative applications. Each chapter is authored by an individual or group of individuals who are recognized as world-class authorities in their area of GPS. The two volumes are intended to be complementary. This volume, Volume I, concentrates on fundamentals and Volume II on applications. Volume I is divided into two parts: the first deals with the operation and theory of basic GPS, the second section with GPS performance and errors. In Part I, GPS Fundamentals, a summary of GPS history leads to later chapters which promote an initial understanding of the three GPS segments: User, Satellite, and Control. Even the best of systems has its limitations, and GPS is no exception. Part II, GPS Performance and Error Effects, is introduced with an overview of the errors, followed by chapters devoted to each of the individual error sources.
