Reviews for Engineering Satellite-Based Navigation and Timing: Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Signals, and Receivers
John Betz’s book is a welcome and much needed addition to the GNSS literature. The title includes “engineering” and the book contents and clarity do not disappoint. All GNSS and their signal structure descriptions are rightfully integrated from the start. The organization and detailed treatment of the systems’ signal engineering and receiver processing are superb. Text and formulas are supported by highly informative figures in color to facilitate understanding. Questions inserted at the end of selected chapters will help readers to test their skills. The high quality reflects the extensive experience and knowledge of the author. The book is a must for GNSS engineers and graduate students. The use of high quality glossy paper results in a practical format to read and carry around.
