Educational goal:

Acquisition of knowledge about navigation and applications of global navigation satellite systems in positioning. Mastering methods of absolute and relative positioning and estimates of their accuracy and reliability. Get acquainted with GNSS equipment (hardware and software) for navigation applications and master skills in using this equipment. Application of satellite navigation techniques for geodetic and other purposes.

Educational outcome:

Use acquired knowledge in the application of GNSS equipment (hardware and software) for navigation projects. Apply satellite navigation techniques in geodetic surveying and tasks: GIS, DTM, Cartography, agriculture, environmental protection.

Course content:

Lecture content: - Concept and characteristics of GNSS - Short fundamentals on satellite geodesy, referential systems related to GNSS, survey and characteristics of observed values, measuring methods and mathematical positioning methods - Performing GNSS measuring and data processing, short overview on geodetic dates and data transformation among them, survey on GNSS application - Basic principles in working with DGNSS - Mathematical models, coordinate systems in function, practical problems - Navigation using GNSS - Methods for determining and techniques for searching ambiguities both for phase data and the combination of code and phase data - GNSS application in: geodesy, geodynamics, tectonic plate movement with time alternating coordinates, navigation, Space - Diverse systems for global positioning: TRANST, DORIS, GLONASS, GPS, GALILEO. Location-based services Practice content: Practical application of presented concepts from lectures.
