Reviews

“This book provides an excellent introduction to satellite navigation and the technologies that make it possible. The authors set forth both fundamentals and practical aspects in a manner that allows even newcomers to GNSS to utilize it effectively. The topics covered in this book address the most important elements of current-day GNSS applications.”

Sam Pullen, Stanford University

“…the book includes free academic versions of a real-time software receiver and signal simulator… greatly exceeds what is found in other textbooks and by this reason it should be recommended. The authors use friendly and easy to understand language. This important feature definitely helps to follow the content of the book also by students and researchers without deeper knowledge of the GNSS technology. Also, the book is worth of recommending to all readers interested in GNSS signal processing, not limited to geoscientists only…I have found this book very interesting…”

Pawel Wielgosz, Institute of Geodesy, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn · Pure and Applied Geophysics

“…The authors write in an accessible, conversational, style with many enjoyable descriptions of historical context. This is most welcome, and makes for pleasant reading…The main content of the book is a valuable addition to the still-small universe of GNSS textbooks…”

Frank Van Diggelen, Broadcom Corporation · Inside GNSS, November/December 2012
