Course Contents:
The lecture addresses selected topics of high-precision applications of global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) at the example of the European navigation systems EGNOS and Galileo:


  • Time reference
  • Geodetic reference of Galileo
  • Galileo and EGNOS architectures
  • Signals
  • Navigation messages
  • Obsesrvation equations for multi-GNSS
  • Algorithms for PVT determination based on multi-GNSS measurements
  • Precise point positioning
  • High-precision orbit determination of satellites

On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

  1. Explain the structure of global satellite navigation systems, their applications and components
  2. Explain  the relations between localisation requirements, navigation, and the geoscience disciplines  (e.g. Geodetic reference systems, Time reference, Earth rotation, Gravitational potential etc.)
  3. Evaluate the performance and contributions of GNSS and to conceptualise GNSS applications.
  4. Apply the basic equations for satellite navigation, orbit determination and modelling in post-processing and analysis software.
