Positioning is one of the subjects included in the Master’s Degree in Geomatics Engineering and Geoinformation (Máster Universitario en Ingeniería Geomática y Geoinformación) in the ETSIGTC in UPV.
Presentations in english can be found in this cathegory.
By positioning is meant the determination in space of mobile or stationary objects, that is, the location of an object in a given coordinate system.
There are many techniques applied for this, however, in this subject we will analyze GNSS technologies.
In the Positioning subject, both in Spanish and English, the general concepts of positioning are explained, the status of the GNSS constellations is updated, the new GNSS signals from Galileo, Glonass and Beidou are explained in detail, the methods and procedures are developed GNSS positioning, PPP positioning is explained, raw data processing on mobile devices is explained, DGNSS technologies with local or regional coverage are explained and applied, the most rigorous calculation methods for GNSS networks at the network level are developed and explained research or high precision, new professional fields of GNSS technologies are studied in studies of Geodesy, Geodynamics and Atmosphere, other GNSS applications are explained to the study of climate and the GNSS market is studied.
The term GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is the generic name that encompasses Satellite Navigation Systems, which provide geospatial positioning and facilitate navigation and time with global coverage, it is a service of PNT (Position Navigation and Time) of both autonomously, as with augmentation systems.
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) positioning and navigation systems are based on the measurement of the signal generated by an oscillator or clock, with an always constant frequency. The oscillators generate the carrier waves and on them transmit all information.
In this presentation about GNSS reference systems, next topics are developed: GNSS coordinates (Reference System, Reference Frame, Coordinate System, GNSS Coordinate System) and Orbits (Ephemeris and Calculation of satellite coordinates).
The GNSS downstream industry consist on: Component manufacturers, for stand-alone use or integrated; chipsets, antennas and safety beacons, … ; systems integrating GNSS into larger products; vehicles, consumer electronics, … ; value-added service providers; map providers, augmentation service providers and GNSS calibration or testing activities…
In this post you can see the Positioning subject presentation. Positioning is the determination of mobile or stationary objects in space. We can say that positioning is the location of an object in a specified coordinate system.
