Challenges in Indoor Global Navigation Satellite Systems: Unveiling its core features in signal processing

TL;DR: The science and technology for positioning and navigation has experienced a dramatic evolution and the observation of celestial bodies for navigation purposes has been replaced today by the use of electromagnetic waveforms emitted from reference sources.

Geodetic imaging with airborne LiDAR: the Earth's surface revealed

TL;DR: This paper traces nearly a half century of advances in geodetic science made possible by space age technology, such as the invention of short-p Pulse-length high-pulse-rate lasers, solid state inertial measurement units, chip-based high speed electronics and the GPS satellite navigation system, that today make it possible to map hundreds of square kilometers of terrain in hours.

Analysis of sprint cross-country skiing using a differential global navigation satellite system

TL;DR: The sprint skiing performance was mainly related to uphill performance, greater use of the G3 technique, and higher DP and G3 maximum velocities, as well as to relationships between aerobic power, body composition and maximal skiing velocity versus STT performance.

Modeling the Effects of Ionospheric Scintillation on GPS Carrier Phase Tracking

TL;DR: In this article, a characterization of the behavior of phase tracking loops in the presence of severe equatorial ionospheric scintillation is given, and a differentially detected bit error model is proposed to predict cycle slipping rates.

Mapping the GPS multipath environment using the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

TL;DR: In this paper, a tool called power spectral mapping (PSM) is presented to visually represent the multipath environment of a GPS site using the spectral content (frequency and magnitude) of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) time series to determine which satellites, and therefore which portions of the antenna environment, contribute significant multipath error and at what frequencies.

Wide Area Differential GPS

TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that normal GPS positioning errors can potentially be reduced by more than 95% using WADGPS.

Ephemeris and Clock Navigation Message Accuracy

J. Zumberge, +1 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of the ephemeris and clock corrections contained in the GPS navigation message is discussed.

GPS and Inertial Integration

TL;DR: This chapter devotes one section to address each of the following questions: how complex are the integration algorithms required to provide the desired level of performance, with options for growth to meet future requirements?

Test Range Instrumentation

TL;DR: In the early 1970s, laser trackers became available to support test activities as discussed by the authors, and a combination of radar, distance-measuring equipment (DME), optical trackers such as cinetheodolites, and other miscellaneous instrumentation to provide time-space position information (TSPI) to satisfy test platform positioning requirements.
