Book Description

Publication Date: August 13, 2003 | ISBN-10: 3540678123 | ISBN-13: 978-3540678120 | Edition: 1

This reference and handbook describes static, kinematic and dynamic Global Positioning System (GPS) theory, algorithms and applications. It is primarily based on source-code descriptions of the KSGSoft program developed by the author at the GFZ in Potsdam. The theory and algorithms are revised and extended for a new development of a multiple functional GPS software. New concepts such as the unified GPS data processing method and ambiguity-ionospheric algorithm, as well as general ambiguity search criteria, are reported for the first time. Mathematically rigorous, the book begins with the basics of coordinate and time systems and satellite orbits, as well as GPS observables, and deals with topics such as physical influences, observation equations, adjustment and filtering, ambiguity resolution, data processing, kinematic positioning, and the determination of perturbed orbits.

Review

Aus den Rezensionen zur 2 Auflage: "… eine umfassend überarbeitete und ergänzte Version … Xu verfolgt das Ziel, dem Leser detaillierte lnformationen zur Auswertung von GNSS-Daten nahezubringen, die für eine praktische Software-Entwicklung relevant sind. … Das Buch gliedert sich in … 12 Kapitel, wobei die … Kapitel mit einer sehr klaren Erläuterung eingeführt werden, die dem Leser die Konzepte der Kapitel und Zusammenhänge mit anderen Abschnitten … vermitteln. … Die Darstellung der Formeln und Gleichungen sind gut lesbar und ermöglichen prinzipiell eine … Umsetzung in Software-Algorithmen. … Das Buch wird ergänzt durch eine … umfangreiche Literaturliste …" (Jörg Reinking, in: zfv - Zeitschrift für Geodäsie, Geoinformation und Landmanagement, 2009, Vol. 134, Issue 2, S. 122 f.) --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
