GEO 213 - Positioning Method and Systems

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to provide students to
- Understand GNSS general units(GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou, Space-Control-User segments, Receiver and antenna types)
- GNSS basic components (Coordinate systems, datum, orbits, signal, time, atmosphere, etc.)
- GNSS basic theory (integer ambiguity, double and triple differences, cycle slip detection, etc.) and positioning (absolute PDOP and GDOP, GPS surveying techniques, etc.)
- GNSS error sources and the elimination methods of the errors
- GNSS surveying (coordinate, elevation, C1, C2, C3, etc.)
- Evaluation and adjustment of GNSS data
- Satellite or Space based surveying techniques other then GNSS like VLBI, SLR, LLR, DORIS

Course Description

A course that describe the production of point positions and related surveying and calculations using GNSS, based on national (BÖHHBÜY, TSE and Standards) regulations and international (ISO, EU Norms and Directives) standards
