This book explore the use of new technologies in the area of satellite navigation receivers. The presentation unfolds in a user-friendly style and goes from the basics to cutting-edge research.

This book provide hands-on exploration of new technologies in the rapidly growing field of satellite navigation receivers. One of the unique features of the work is the interactive approach used, giving the readers the ability to construct their own Global Navigation Systems (GNSS) receivers. A complete GPS software receiver implemented using MATLAB code as well as GPS and GIOVE-A signal records allows readers to change various parameters and immediately see their effects. Supplementary course material for instructors is available at http://gps.aau.dk/softgps.

The book is aimed at applied mathematicians, electrical engineers, geodesists, and graduate students. It may be used as a textbook in various GPS technology and signal processing courses, or as a self-study reference for anyone working with satellite navigation receivers.
