Dr. Enge

is the Kleiner-Perkins, Mayfield, Sequoia Capital Professor of Engineering at Stanford University. He directs the GPS Research Laboratory, which pioneers GPS-based navigation systems for the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and the Federal Aviation Administration. Two of these systems are operational with millions of users. He has received the ION's Thurlow and Kepler Awards for contributions to satellite navigation. He is also a Member of the National Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the IEEE and Fellow of the ION.

Lecture: Basics of Satellite Navigation
During this 90 minute lecture, Professor Enge will describe the fundamental operation of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). This lecture will introduce the basic architecture including the satellites, ground control segment and the user equipment. Then, the pseudorange measurement will be described including the impact of the receiver clock offset relative to GPS system time. Next, the navigation equations will be analyzed along with the linearization typically used to solve this set of simultaneous measurement equations. Finally, the performance of GNSS, including dual frequency operation and differential GPS, will be quickly summarized.

Lecture: GNSS Under Development and Modernization
During this 90 minute lecture, Professors Per Enge and Guenter W. Hein will describe the worldwide development of GNSS. The following systems and developments will be summarized: modernized U.S. Global Positioning System, Wide Area Augmentation System, Russian GLONASS, European Galileo System, Chinese Compass System, Japanese Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, Indian IRNSS, Nigerian NIGCOMSAT. Finally, Professor Hein will provide a summary of all the worldwide developments.

Lecture: GNSS in Aviation
During this 90 minute lecture, Professor Enge will describe aviation applications and technology related to GNSS. First, he will discuss some interesting aviation applications including closely spaced parallel approaches. Then the critical role of fault detection and isolation in safety critical applications will be explored, especially fault monitoring to protect aircraft that are approaching airports. Then, current aviation augmentations will be described including the ground based augmentation system (GBAS) and space based augmentation system (SBAS). Finally, future GNSS-based systems for aviation will be described.
