Synopsis:

The main aim of the subject is to acquaint a doctoral student with receiver position determination methods in systems using different measurements and position determination algorithms (least-squares methods ...) and with their accuracy. The student will study error magnitude derivation and will get information concerning the choice of compromises between convergence rates and precision. It will be revealed that massively used satellite navigation methods suffer from many deficiencies under real environment conditions. It will be shown how the impact of these weaknesses can be reduced by the assistance from other sensors based on radio as well as non-radio principles. Moreover, there are very prospective methods of positioning based on Signals of opportunity processing; they are included in the course, too.

The student will verify the achieved results by individual laboratory project exploiting instrumental equipment like a signal generator with simulator of satellite signals and generators of communication signals (DVB-T, LTE). The acquisition of the equipment was supported by the development project OP VVV.
