Product Description

Review

"Every GPS engineer should have this book. An engineer can find in one place a thorough treatment of the entire GPS system. Will prove of great benefit to those first approaching a GPS engineering task, but the experienced engineer will also find it a valuable reference. The most complete description of the signal acquisition and tracking process that I have found anywhere. I highly recommend this book."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Developing GPS Tracking Systems, Dec 29 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Gps: Principles and Applications (Hardcover)
This is a great book to read if you plan on developing any type of GPS tracking system. While the book covers the the basics, you'll need some further resources on interfacing GPS receivers and such hardware to real-world devices.

An interesting article entitled "Tracking a Vehicle With GPS" can be read at www.closerworlds.com

A lot of mobile solutions are soon to hit the market such as mobile phones using GSM or GPRS to track a person. This book will help to understand how it all fits together. It would have been nice if the book could have touched on how older communication systems like VHF radios can transmit GPS data. For that you'll have to visit www.closerworlds.com or some other website with such resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly the Best General Reference on GPS, Jan 31 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Gps: Principles and Applications (Hardcover)
I've been an engineer and PM working with GPS and GPS systems since the inception of GPS in the mid-80s. While employed by a major DOD research lab I was fortunate enough not only to have access to practically every GPS book and article available, but I also had the opportunity to meet many of the key people responsible for the design and development of the system (many of whom contributed to this text). From system design to receiver architecture, this is by far the best general reference I have found on GPS.
