This book describes the design and performance analysis of satnav systems, signals, and receivers, with a general approach that applies to all satnav systems and signals in use or under development. It also provides succinct descriptions and comparisons of each satnav system.

Clearly structured, and comprehensive depiction of engineering satellite-based navigation and timing systems, signals, and receivers
GPS as well as all new and modernized systems (SBAS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS) and signals being developed and fielded
Theoretical and applied review questions, which can be used for homework or to obtain deeper insights into the material
Extensive equations describing techniques and their performance, illustrated by MATLAB plots
New results, novel insights, and innovative descriptions for key approaches and results in systems engineering and receiver design

Industry Reviews

John Betz's book is a welcome and much needed addition to the GNSS literature. The title includes "engineering" and the book contents and clarity do not disappoint. All GNSS and their signal structure descriptions are rightfully integrated from the start. The organization and detailed treatment of the systems' signal engineering and receiver processing are superb. Text and formulas are supported by highly informative figures in color to facilitate understanding. Questions inserted at the end of selected chapters will help readers to test their skills. The high quality reflects the extensive experience and knowledge of the author. The book is a must for GNSS engineers and graduate students. The use of high quality glossy paper results in a practical format to read and carry around.
