Dr. Dennis M. Akos
completed the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at Ohio University within the Avionics Engineering Center. He research interest include: Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Software Defined Radio (SDR), applied/digital signal processing, and Radio Frequency (RF) design. Currently he is an Assistant Professor with the Aerospace Engineering Science Department at University of Colorado at Boulder and holds a visiting professor appointment at Lule University of Technology and a consulting professor appointment with Stanford University.
Lecture: Frequencies, Signals and Signal Processing
This lecture begins with an introduction to the current as well as forthcoming GNSS signals. It describes how although multiple signals will exist, the basic signal processing algorithms are quite similar. The lecture will provide a case study for single frequency GPS receiver design and discuss the format of the collected data. Then the core low level receiver signal processing, including signal acquisition and tracking, will be presented.
