Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is a generic term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. GNSS allows small electronic receivers to determine their location, longitude, latitude, and altitude to within a few meters using time signals transmitted along a line-of-sight by radio from satellites. Receivers calculate the precise time as well as position, which can be used as a reference for scientific experiments. This book studies Global Navigation Satellite Systems including GLONASS, the Global Positioning System, GPS-C, and the GNSS reflectometry.
