Fundamentals of GPS Receivers

"Fundamentals of GPS Receivers" offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of GPS receivers. The book begins with basic concepts and progresses to more advanced topics. It examines three different implementations of GPS receivers: a custom design by the author, an industry-recognized design that is part of an open-source network, and a receiver developed by JPL/NASA. This variety of designs allows readers to understand how different approaches tackle the same challenges in GPS technology. The chapters address carrier phase measurements as well as GPS time and frequency measurements, focusing on the measurements themselves rather than on the processing of these measurements. This measurement-oriented approach enhances the understanding of the physical phenomena at work in the GPS system.
