Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes plans and progress made on the MMGR program funded jointly by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) GPS Joint Program Office (JPO) and industry that started in April 2003. The AFRL Dual Use Science and Technology (DUS & T) MMGR objective of meeting pervasive defense system requirements and civilian needs for ultra-small GPS receiver technology is dependent in part upon the creation of multi- L-band reconfigurable receiver integrated circuitry that supports Coarse Acquisition (C/A), Precision Encrypted [P(Y)], and Military (M)-code operation. The creation of this military/civilian circuitry with reduced cost and improved speed-power-weight capabilities is enabled through adaptation of commercial and radiation tolerant design and manufacturing abilities that leverage synergies across proven, legacy GPS receiver architectures. The Honeywell contribution to the program includes demonstration of the feasibility of applying bulk or silicon on insulator (SOI) 1.8V Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology to create a working radio frequency (RF) analog front end for miniature GPS receivers. This shows a path to a single chip GPS receiver via combined RF analog and advanced sub-micron ultra large scale integrated digital circuits.

This book was released on 2005-01-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the expert guidance you need to understand, build, and operate GPS receivers The Second Edition of this acclaimed publication enables readers to understand and apply the complex operation principles of global positioning system (GPS) receivers. Although GPS receivers are widely used in everyday life to aid in positioning and navigation, this is the only text that is devoted to complete coverage of their operation principles. The author, one of the foremost authorities in the GPS field, presents the material from a software receiver viewpoint, an approach that helps readers better understand operation and that reflects the forecasted integration of GPS receivers into such everyday devices as cellular telephones. Concentrating on civilian C/A code, the book provides the tools and information needed to understand and exploit all aspects of receiver technology as well as relevant navigation schemes: Overview of GPS basics and the constellation of satellites that comprise the GPS system Detailed examination of GPS signal structure, acquisition, and tracking Step-by-step presentation of the mathematical formulas for calculating a user's position Demonstration of the use of computer programs to run key equations Instructions for developing hardware to collect digitized data for a software GPS receiver Complete chapter demonstrating a GPS receiver following a signal flow to determine a user's position The Second Edition of this highly acclaimed text has been greatly expanded, including three new chapters: Acquisition of weak signals Tracking of weak signals GPS receiver related subjects Following the author's expert guidance and easy-to-follow style, engineers and scientists learn all that is needed to understand, build, and operate GPS receivers. The book's logical flow from basic concepts to applications makes it an excellent textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering, wireless communications, and computer science.

Download or read book The Global Positioning System Assessing National Policies written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. military space system operated by the U.S. Air Force. The space segment of GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites that broadcast precise time signals. When the satellites are in view of a suitable GPS receiver, these signals aid position-location, navigation, and precision timing. GPS was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and deployed over two decades at a cost of over $10 billion. The U.S. armed forces are increasingly reliant on its signals for a variety of purposes from navigation to munitions guidance. However, over the past 10 years, GPS has evolved far beyond its military origins. It is now a worldwide information resource supporting a wide range of civil, scientific, and commercial functions, from air traffic control to the Internet. GPS has also spawned a substantial commercial industry in the United States and abroad with rapidly growing markets for related products and services.

Download or read book The Precision Revolution written by Michael Russell Rip and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since so-called smart bombs debuted in the Vietnam War, precision weapons have been an expected part of modern warfare. While most Americans are aware of the use of these technological wonders, frequently viewing images of pinpoint accuracy on their television screens, few understand how the weapons work. In this very readable explanation, Michael Rip and James Hasik not only clarify the complex technology but chronicle the use of these modern marvels and elaborate on the promises and the pitfalls behind them. At the root of today's precision weapons is the Global Positioning System (GPS) -- the same system used by professional marine and aerial navigators and even by modern hikers, drivers of upscale automobiles, and sailboat owners. The authors remove much of the mystery of this satellite-based system, explaining how it has revolutionized the art and science of navigation and overturned many of the solutions to the age-old problems of targeting. Relevant examples taken from today's headlines demonstrate both the capabilities and the limitations of these weapons. Their use in Bosnia, Kosovo, and the stand-off engagements in the no-fly zones of Iraq make a great deal more sense with this book in hand. Many of the emerging debates spawned by a mandated review of U.S. defense policy are clarified. From the details of the weapons systems and their employment to their political implications, this sweeping analysis of the effects of a revolutionary technology on military operations and strategy is without parallel. A wealth of illustrations help the reader understand how technologies work and fit together, how they are practically used, and what they mean for the future.

Download or read book Modeling Global Positioning System Effects in the TLC NLC Model written by Patrick D. Allen and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1994 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) can enhance the navigation of combat platforms and the guidance of munitions. This report presents a design for incorporating GPS into RAND's theater-level combat or nonlinear combat (TLC/NLC) model, which is used for policy analysis of military operations. The author's design looks first at GPS coverage, i.e., how position is located using one or more GPS satellites. Next, the author considers factors limiting the access of GPS-equipped assets to the system. Third, the author examines the benefits to assets so equipped: improved self-location accuracy, which enhances navigation and reduces fratricide; improved target location accuracy; and improved targeting of stand-off munitions. The final consideration is countermeasures against threats to GPS transmitters, receivers, and signals.
