GPS - GAP

The GPS-GAP addresses the mathematical, physical and geodetic foundation of geospatial positioning with GPS (Global Positioning System). The material is presented with sufficient depth as needed for understanding all geospatial positioning accuracy levels, ranging from 100 meter to millimeter, in either real-time or post process. The basis for understanding GPS and its applications is mathematical modeling, signal processing, estimation, and geodetic theory. GPS-GAP, therefore, focuses on this foundation.
 
Since the focus is on mathematics and physics, the courses fulfill undergraduate and graduate course requirements in engineering and science. Students will feel satisfaction from experiencing how mathematics, statistics, physics, electronics, and global data communication come together to generate such an amazing global system. Practitioners and application developers will gain useful knowledge from these courses for exploring satellite positioning within the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
