  There are (or soon will be) two copies of this book on 24-hour reserve at the library.

• Geoff Blewitt (University of Nevada, Reno) has written an excellent summary that I recommend you download.

Prerequisites:

• ASEN5090 or my permission
• We will spend the first several weeks of class making sure that everyone's pseudorange-broadcast orbit-broadcast clock point positioning code is working.

Grading:

• 70% Homeworks - development of high-precision GNSS software. Use of carrier phase data. Absolute and differential positioning.
• 10% Midterm Exam
• 20% Final, in the form of group project presentations. Note I am using the plural form.
