Satellite-based navigation

2003
A short remark on the terminology is given to avoid misinterpretation. “Satellite-based navigation” means navigation based on satellites, i.e., using signals transmitted by satellites. Quite often, this full nomenclature is shortened to the expression “satellite navigation”.

Use of satellites for navigation

IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, 1968
Any position on earth can be determined as the intersection of two circles, with their centers located at 0 and 0' on the earth's surface just beneath two satellites. Therefore any flying path can be described as a locus of many such positions. One synchronous satellite can cover 45 percent of the surface of the earth.

Navigation Satellite Constellations and Navigation Signals

2021
Ground-based radio navigation had been used for more than half a century before the first GPS satellite was launched in the late 1970s. Many radio navigation systems have been developed and put into use since the early of 20th century, including Telefunken Kompass Sender (radio direction finder), Decca (Decca Navigator System), (VOR) VHF ...

Effects on satellite navigation

2007
Space weather phenomena may have a significant impact on GNSS signals. Fortunately, the GNSS technique itself provides a unique opportunity to monitor ionospheric key parameters continuously on regional and/or global scales in near-real-time which may provide ionospheric corrections in augment navigation and positioning networks.

Satellite-Based Navigation Systems

2012
This chapter focuses on various satellite-based navigation systems. The most well-known and widespread system currently used for localization of a radio-receiving terminal is the global positioning system (GPS). All GPS satellites share the same frequency bands, making use of the code division multiple access (CDMA) technique. The transmitted signal on

Introduction to Satellite Navigation Systems

2013
The “youngest” of the major satellite applications is the field of satellite navigation. This field of measurement and ranging through the use of satellite positioning systems first started in the context of scientific research. This initial use of satellites was simply for positioning and location.

Satellite Radio Navigation

IETE Journal of Research, 1973
In this review paper the basic requirements and configuration of a typical Satellite Navigation System are outlined. Various techniques such as measurement of angle, range and range rate for position fixing applications are discussed in detail. The orbits employed and the frequency ranges appropriate to each technique are considered.

Satellite Navigation for Helicopters

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1980
The Department of Defence of the United States is in the process of implementing a satellite‐based navigation system called Navstar GPS (Global Positioning System). This system will have 24 satellites orbiting in three different orbits, with 8 satellites in each. Full implementation is planned for the mid to late 1980s. Partial use of the system should

A Virtual Laboratory on satellite-based navigation

Control Engineering Practice, 2001
A primary objective in the development of a navigation system is to test the effectiveness of its algorithms together with their capability of operating in real time. With this in mind a Virtual Laboratory capable of simulating the main features of general aviation aircraft navigational sensors together with their interface to the on-board computer has
