Although GPS receivers are widely used in everyday life to aid in positioning and navigation, this is the only text that is devoted to complete coverage of their operation principles. The author, one of the foremost authorities in the GPS field, presents the material from a software receiver viewpoint, an approach that helps readers better understand operation and that reflects the forecasted integration of GPS receivers into such everyday devices as cellular telephones. Concentrating on civilian C\/A code, the book provides the tools and information needed to understand and exploit all aspects of receiver technology as well as relevant navigation schemes:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOverview of GPS basics and the constellation of satellites that comprise the GPS system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed examination of GPS signal structure, acquisition, and tracking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStep-by-step presentation of the mathematical formulas for calculating a user's position\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstration of the use of computer programs to run key equations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstructions for developing hardware to collect digitized data for a software GPS receiver\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplete chapter demonstrating a GPS receiver following a signal flow to determine a user's position\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/i\u003e of this highly acclaimed text has been greatly expanded, including three new chapters:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcquisition of weak signals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTracking of weak signals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGPS receiver related subjects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollowing the author's expert guidance and easy-to-follow style, engineers and scientists learn all that is needed to understand, build, and operate GPS receivers.
