GNSS Solutions - On-site Seminars
GNSS Solutions is proud to offer on-site seminars. These on-site seminars can be ordered individually, in
combination, or tailored to suit the needs of your agency, company, or market. We have specialized in
tailored on-site seminars and tutorials prior to major navigation conferences and now bring expanded, more
comprehensive seminars right to you. Each course can be delivered on-site at your or nearby facility. The
following one-day courses are offered. Click on the course title for detailed syllabus (pdf) or course

CN505C Fundamentals of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) I with emphasis on the GPS
Dr. Chris G. Bartone, P.E., Professor, Ohio University
Course Overview: This course covers the fundamentals of GNSS with emphasis on GPS. The course begins with a solid overview
of GNSS, GPS with an overview of other GNSS including Galileo, Glonass, and Compass. The core functions that need to be
performed in obtaining a user solution using GPS will be explained. Topics include coordinates, calculations of SV positions using
the Kepler orbital parameters, performing broadcast orbit and clock corrections, as well as simple compensation for atmospheric
effects in the ionosphere and troposphere. The course concludes with an illustration of a user state calculation, performance
metrics (i.e., DOPs) and an error budget for GPS.

CN506C Fundamentals of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) II with emphasis on GPS
Dr. Chris G. Bartone, P.E., Professor, Ohio University
Course Overview: This course will present the fundamentals of GNSS with emphasis on GPS in the presence of various error
sources and discusses error mitigation techniques. Some knowledge or introduction to GNSS is assumed as this course is
intended as a follow-on to CN505 Fundamentals of GNSS I with emphasis on GPS. The course will provide details on the nature of
various error sources in satellite navigation systems, their impact on performance, and methods for mitigation. The course
provides an illustration of an error mitigated user state calculation, and provides information on receiver autonomous integrity
monitory (RAIM). Details of differential GNSS with illustrations DGPS error performance is presented.

CN520C GPS Modernization and Relation to other Global Navigation Satellite Systems
Tom Stansell, Stansell Consulting
Course Overview: This course provides information on many aspects of GPS modernization and how these efforts relate to other
GNSS systems. Knowledge of GNSS and GPS would be beneficial (i.e., material presented in CN505C/CN506C Fundamentals of
GNSS with emphasis on GPS I/II). Tthe course covers topics on GPS modernization, including signals and satellite capabilities,
interoperability with Galileo signal formats and services, QZSS, Glonass, Compass and other GNSS concepts.

CN531C Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Receiver Design Systems
Dr. Sanjeev Gunawardena, Ohio University
Course Overview: This course covers the design and practical implementation of GNSS receivers using the latest developments in
RF and digital signal processing technologies. The material covered will be applicable to a wide range of GNSS user equipment
from instrumentation-quality reference receivers through aviation-grade, military, and low-power consumer-grade single chip
devices. Part 1 covers the design of GNSS RF front-ends starting from the LNA through to the ADC. Part 2 covers digital signal
processing techniques from sample correlation through range measurement computation, and the implementation of these
techniques using hardware, software, or reconfigurable logic (i.e. FPGA) processors. The course material is approached with both
the theoretical and practical perspective, using case studies of actual GNSS receivers developed by the instructor as well as an
overview of the latest commercially available GNSS chipsets.

CN560C Introduction to Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems
Dr. Andrey Soloviev, University of Florida
Course Overview: This course emphasizes the physics and mathematics of strapdown inertial navigation systems (INS) and
provides a solid basis in the physics and mathematics of inertial navigation. This course details the types of strapdown inertial
navigation sensors, their errors and behavior. The course also discusses sensor and system specifications. It provides sufficient
information for the user to construct their own inertial navigation solution. It serves as a useful introduction to courses covering
GPS and INS integration.

CN562C Applications of Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems
Dr. Andrey Soloviev, Research Assistant Professor, University of Florida
Course Overview: This course focuses on practical applications of the strapdown inertial technology. Additional benefit will be
obtained with knowledge of strapdown inertial navigation systems (e.g., CN560C Introduction to Strapdown Inertial Navigation).
Types of inertial applications and challenges of using Strapdown INS for practical application areas are addressed. Specific
application examples for stand-alone and integrated INS navigation are considered with the emphasis on INS specification
requirements and INS performance characteristics. The second part of this course considers the use of INS for multi-sensor
integrated applications, including GNSS-alternative navigation aids such as video cameras and laser radars. Types of integrated
solutions are discussed and specific integration examples are provided.

CN541C GNSS Antennas - Fundamentals & Special Topics
Dr. Chris G. Bartone, P.E., Professor, Ohio University
Course Overview: This course emphasizes the fundamentals of antennas for GNSS applications. The course will present a solid
basis for understanding fundamentals of antennas, antenna types, design, development, tests, and implementation aspects of
GNSS antennas. Additional benefit will be obtained with a good background in the area of GNSS (e.g., CN505C Fundamentals of
GNSS I, or CN506C Fundamentals of GNSS II). The second part of this course presents information on special and advanced
topics related to GNSS for particular applications, which are important to many users. Antenna measurement effects and
specialized antennas to maximize GNSS performance will be presented, including details on adaptive antenna arrays.
