Fundamentals of Radar and Localization

Knowledge of system architectures, the technological solutions and infrastructure for the Air Traffic Management (CNS / ATM: Communications, Navigation, Surveillance / Air Traffic Management). Knowledge of the systems and methods of navigation in particular, with emphasis on satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo), including techniques and associated infrastructure, to ensure continuity, reliability and accuracy of satellite navigation service (integrity, Augmentation).

9 CFU-program:
Navigation and radio facilities. Satellite Navigation; structure of a GNSS (space segment, control, user) and its performance (accuracy, continuity, availability, integrity); sources of error, dilution of precision (DOP parameters); the receiver. GNSS existing and on development (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou ….). Integrity monitoring & Augmentation (DGPS, LAAS, WAAS, GBAS). Location of the mobile terminal on the cellular network and other methods of tracking. Air traffic control and related surveillance systems (PSR, SSR, MLAT-WAM, ADS-B). Traffic control of airport (SMGCS and sensors: SMR, ADS-B, local MLAT). Marine traffic control (VTS, VTMS, coastal radar, AIS).
