TTK5 Satellite and Inertial Navigation Systems

Instructor: Associate Professor Torleiv Håland Bryne (torleiv.h.bryne@ntnu.no)

Description: This course is an introduction to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and GNSS augmentations and how these can be integrated with inertial navigation systems (INS). This includes GNSS principles and measurement processing algorithms, augmented GNSS system architectures and applications.

Communication

Blackboard will be used to communicate and distributed information and material to the students. Students regiserted will be added manunally by the instructor.

Final schedule will be given on Blackboard.

Literature for compulsory reading (to be distributed electronically):

Lecture notes will be distributed by on Blackboard to the students registered for the course throughout the course.
Students that would like to follow the course without taking the exam should send an e-mail to torleiv.h.bryne@ntnu.no to get access to the lectures and course material.
