Reviews
"Every GPS engineer should have this book. An engineer can find in one place a thorough treatment of the entire GPS system. One of the first places to look when a question arises. Will prove of great benefit to those first approaching a GPS engineering task, but the experienced engineer will also find it a valuable reference. The most complete description of the signal acquisition and tracking process that I have found anywhere. I highly recommend this book."
