Features: This book explains the fundamental principles and concepts of the Global Positioning System (GPS), including: GPS measurement principles, the structure and development history of GPS; the principles of GPS pseudorange positioning and carrier phase positioning; the coordinate systems and time systems used in GPS; the implementation principles of C/A code and the carrier modulation process; the principles and implementation of GPS signal acquisition and tracking; the design and implementation of portable GPS systems and common chip information, etc. Additionally, this book covers the use of MATLAB to simulate various algorithms and principles involved in GPS, providing all simulation source code and simulation block diagrams. Through MATLAB simulations, readers can better understand the key technologies in GPS, which is a distinctive feature of this book. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate or graduate students in navigation, communication, surveying, and mapping-related fields in higher education institutions. It is also suitable for use by faculty, students, and researchers in relevant fields as a reference.
