Learning outcomes
|
The first part of the course is focused on a thorough acquaintance with the basic elements of navigation systems and their applications in aviation. The following part focuses on the description of methods for determining the positions of targets based on the measurement of time, direction, phase and Doppler shift. Furthermore, the course introduces students to the key positioning systems used in air transport. The last part of the course is focused on a thorough acquaintance with the issues of global navigation systems, especially the description of their activities, sources of positioning errors, positioning accuracy and concepts of global navigation system receivers.
The student should be able to program in the MatLab environment.
