Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This two-volume set explains the technology, performance, and applications of the Global Positioning System (GPS). This set is the only one of its kind to present the history of GPS development, the basic concepts and theory of GPS, and the recent developments and numerous applications of GPS.

Each chapter is authored by an individual or group of individuals who are recognized as leaders in their area of GPS. These various viewpoints promote a thorough understanding of the system and make Global Positioning System: Theory and Applications the standard reference source for the Global Positioning System.

The two volumes are intended to be complementary. Volume I concentrates on fundamentals and Volume II on applications. It is recommended for university engineering students, practicing GPS engineers, applications engineers, and managers who wish to improve their understanding of the system.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the essential treatment of GPS for engineers., April 1, 1998
By A Customer
These volumes comprehensively treat the entire body of knowledge concerning GPS control, satellites, propagation, receivers, and use. There is an extensive discussion of GPS errors: raw, differential, corrected, and the encrypted precise positioning service.

Unlike IEEE volumes that seem to be magazine articles jammed together, these volumes appear to use systematic, top-down architecture of the outline. Each section is a coherent explanation of the topic, without any unevenness in coverage.

The authors are well-known principals in this field. Spilker, for instance, has generated the most significant books in digital communications; modulation and demodulation being his specialty.

I found these volumes to be so impressive that I bought the set for my personal use.
