GNSS Training (Advanced)

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is critical to many modern technologies and services, from personal navigation, aviation, military and maritime, agricultural and geographic surveying applications. This essential system provides precise location and timing information that is vital for a wide range of industries. GNSS constellations, including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, broadcast signals that enable receivers to determine their locations. Recent advancements have produced multi-frequency, multi-constellation, multi-antenna receivers that enhance accuracy, availability, dependability, and overall system capacity.

Advancements in GNSS technology are reshaping industries by introducing satellites with state-of-the-art capabilities and leveraging augmentation systems to boost accuracy in diverse environments. Valued at $223.4 billion in 2023, the global GNSS market is expected to grow to $453 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. These advancements are expanding GNSS applications across sectors like transportation, agriculture, and telecommunications, delivering precise, dependable positioning that drives progress and economic growth.

Overview Of The GNSS Training

SEAC’s “GNSS Advanced” training provides a structured understanding of GNSS principles and practical applications. The course begins with an introduction to GNSS systems, signal structure, reception, propagation, and key satellite navigation methods. Next, students explore the GNSS signal processing chain, starting with the front-end, including the antenna, acquisition, and tracking. Finally, they study telemetry decoding, observables, and the final computation of Position, Velocity, and Time (PVT) solutions. Signal processing chain is rigorously studied to understand its functionality and the unique differences between different constellations.

The advanced course focuses on practical skills with Software-Defined Radio (SDR) using MATLAB. Students will analyze signal processing limitations, including jamming, spoofing, and multipath. They will explore advanced methods like Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and Real-Time Kinematics (RTK). Augmentation systems such as SBAS, GBAS, and TBAS are also covered. Case studies and exercises help develop technical expertise in GNSS applications. The course discusses common GNSS errors and their impact on accuracy and precision.
