PIERFRANCESCO LOMBARDO Lecturers' profile

Program - Frequency - Exams

Course program
Global Satellite Navigation Systems (GNSS) (3 CFU): (i) GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO: space segment, control segment, and user segment. (ii) Transmitted waveforms and positioning codes. GNSS receivers. Signal processing techniques: code and phase positioning, ionospheric and tropospheric error correction. (iii) Quality parameters for positioning performance evaluation: Error Covariance matrix and – Accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity. Elements of reliability, redundancy, and performance guarantee, continuity, and integrity. (iv) Differential GPS (DGPS): RTCM and RTK. Contributions to the errors in the observables and positioning measurement accuracy. “Augmentation” systems (WAAS and EGNOS) and interoperability among navigation systems (i.e. GPS and GLONASS). (v) Positioning and Tracking of space vehicles and objects using Radar and Multilateration techniques.
