- Synopsis:
-
The course introduces students to the terrestrial and satellite radio navigation and radar systems. Students get knowledge of the radio navigation systems, and of the structure of navigation and radar signals and methods of their processing. They become familiar with coordinate systems, fundamentals of celestial mechanics, and methods of position estimation. Students get knowledge of practical applications and the integration of navigation systems.
