Learning outcomes
|
The first part of the course focuses on a thorough introduction to the basic elements of navigation systems and their applications in aviation. This is followed by a description of methods for determining target positions based on time, direction, phase and Doppler shift measurements. The course also introduces students to key positioning systems used in aviation. The last part of the course focuses on an in-depth introduction to global navigation systems, especially the description of their operation, sources of positioning error, positioning accuracy, and the concept of global navigation system receivers.
The student will gain knowledge in the field of positioning systems.
