This book systematically presents the operating principles and technical characteristics of the main radio navigating systems (RNSs) that make it possible to adequately evaluate the corresponding scratch indexes and levels of air safety for air vehicles, the chief concern of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The book discusses how RNS systems substantially determine navigation accuracy and reliability, and therefore air safety; in addition, it presents practical solutions to problems arising in the operation and development of RNS systems.

The textbook for radio engineering higher institutions of learning and departments explains the operating principles of radio navigational aids used to navigate flying vehicles. General questions concerned with the accuracy of navigational fixes obtained near the earth, as well as in cosmic space, are reviewed. Attention is focused on amplitude, phase, frequency and time radio navigation measurements. An analysis is made of the errors occuring in radio navigational aids resulting from the use of other than modern equipment, from the effect of the conditions under which radio waves are propagated, and from the effect of the conditions under which radio waves are propagated, and from the effect of natural and organized radio interference.

Global positioning systems like GPS or the future European Galileo are influencing the world of navigation tremendously. Today, everybody is concerned with navigation even if unaware of this fact. Therefore, the interest in navigation is steadily increasing. This book provides an encyclopedic view of navigation. Fundamental elements are presented for a better understanding of the techniques, methods, and systems used in positioning and guidance. The book consists of three parts. Beside a historical review and maps, the first part covers mathematical and physical fundamentals. The second part treats the methods of positioning including terrestrial, celestial, radio- and satellite-based, inertial, image-based, and integrated navigation. Routing and guidance are the main topics of the third part. Applications on land, at sea, in the air, and in space are considered, followed by a critical outlook on the future of navigation. This book is designed for students, teachers, and people interested in entering the complex world of navigation.

The growth of GPS over the past decade has been staggering. More and more electrical engineers are migrating towards work in this field and require knowledge of the important GPS/GNSS principles. That's why Artech House decided the time was right to put this classic Prentice Hall title back into print. Although technology has progressed at a remarkable pace in the decade and a half since its publication, the principles of navigation systems, well described in this book, are immutable. The book's reputation as an essential reference has led to engineers scouring the Internet looking for used copies. Finally back in print, this popular resource provides authoritative guidance on everything from the fundamentals of terrestrial navigation, error calculations, and direction finding... to satellite orbits and geometry, satellite navigation principles, and spread spectrum. Moreover, the book provides concise descriptions of key navigation systems developed decades ago that are still widely in use ndash; information that is extremely hard to find.
