Over that past decade, the growth of GPS and other navigation systems has been staggering. More and more electrical engineers are migrating towards work in this field and require knowledge of important GNSS (global navigation satellite system) principles. That's why Artech House decided the time was right to put this classic Prentice Hall title back into print. Although technology has progressed at a remarkable pace in the decade and a half since its publication, the principles of navigation systems described in this book are immutable.In fact, the book presents the engineering basics so well that practicing engineers and students have been scouring the Internet looking for used copies. Finally, this essential resource will be readily available, providing authoritative guidance on everything from the fundamentals of terrestrial navigation, error calculations, and direction finding...to satellite orbits and geometry, satellite navigation principles, and spread spectrum. Moreover, the book provides concise descriptions of key navigation systems developed decades ago that are still widely in use - information that is extremely hard to find.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great technical introduction to radionavigation,
By
This review is from: Radionavigation Systems (GNSS Technology and Applications) (Hardcover)
Judging from the TOC, this is a reprint of the 1991 edition. The book is somewhat dated in that it covers several systems that are no longer operational BUT it remains one of the better introductory texts to the field of radio navigation. There are clear explanations of how accuracy is characterized and the discussions on GPS remain highly relevant. Nice discussions of maps, datums and coordinate systems. Missing is a discussion of A-GPS. Overall, still worth reading for the beginning student as it is still one of the best introductions to the field.
