This course covers the comprehensive understanding of satellite navigation systems. It begins with the basic concept of navigation using satellites, explaining the estimation of position, time, and velocity. The course also discusses the functions of a global navigation satellite system receiver and the potential errors that can occur, along with their mitigation strategies. For instance, the course uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) as an example to illustrate the working and components of satellite navigation. The course further delves into the fundamentals of position, velocity, and time estimation, explaining how these are derived and refined. It also emphasizes the importance of error correction in these systems and introduces different global navigation satellite systems like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and IRNSS.
