Chapter 6

Navigation Solutions

Abstract

Chapter 6 deals with the most important activity in the whole satellite navigation process, estimating the position. In this chapter, the approach of obtaining the solution is described with intuitive elucidations. Then, the mathematical foundation is set by forming the observation equations needed to solve for the position, with descriptions of each individual input. Finally, the methods to obtain the solution mathematically are discussed. This includes an explanation of the linearization technique, as well as other methods to obtain solutions, such as Bancroft's methods and the Doppler-based technique. The related intricacies of the processes are mentioned in appropriate places. Finally, the method for finding ...
