Synopsis

This thoroughly updated third edition of an Artech House bestseller brings together a team of leading experts providing a current and comprehensive treatment of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that readers won t find in other resources. Packed with brand new material, this third edition includes new chapters on the system engineering details of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou (BDS), and regional systems, such as the Quasi Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC). Readers also find new coverage of GNSS receivers, disruptions, errors, stand-alone GNSS performance, and differential and precise point positioning.

This single-source reference provides both a quick overview of GNSS essentials and an in-depth treatment of advanced topics and explores all the latest advances in technology, applications, and systems. Readers are guided in the development of new applications and on how to evaluate their performance. It explains all the differential GNSS services available to help decide which is best for a particular application. The book discusses the integration of GNSS with other sensors and network assistance. Readers learn how to build GNSS receivers and integrate them into navigational and communications equipment. Moreover, this unique volume helps determine how technology is affecting the marketplace and where best to invest in a company s resources.

Review

The previous two editions of this classic treatment on GPS played an important role in my classrooms to educate our next generation GNSS experts. This new edition is further strengthened with additional coverage on new GNSS and RNSS including GLONASS, BDS, QZSS, and NavIC as well as recent advances in navigation technologies such as precise point positioning (PPP) and hybrid positioning systems. To address the demands on growing new applications of navigation technology, the book provided a timely coverage on techniques to integrate GNSS with low cost inertial sensors and other RF signals available on mobile devices for indoor and other areas with GNSS signal blockage. I am looking forward to share these and other new materials in this new edition with my students. --Jade Morton, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Colorado State University

The third edition of Kaplan & Hegarty s well-known book on GNSS is a most welcome addition to the literature as the first two editions published in 1996 and 2006 have been well received and widely used by academia and researchers. Dedicated chapters on GNSS other than GPS are most appropriate. A new chapter on disruptions, including much on electronic interference and an in-depth analysis on impact on signal structure, further adds timely value. The established reputation and expertise of the two main authors and the other contributors are evident throughout the book. --Gérard Lachapelle, Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary

I would highly recommend this book, both to those new to the world of GNSS, but also to current practitioners and students who wish to both update and expand their knowledge. It will certainly have pride of place on my bookshelf as my go-to reference book. --Professor Terry Moore Director Nottingham, Geospatial Institute, University of Nottingham
