GALILEO SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je upoznavanje s tehničkim karakteristikama i načinima funkcioniranja globalnih navigacijskih satelitskih sustava te njihove sličnosti s europskim satelitskim sustavom Galileo. Rad je podijeljen u četiri poglavlja od kojih se prvo odnosi na neke od osnovnih pojmova i metoda primijenjenih unutar satelitske navigacije. Drugo poglavlje opisuje ostale globalne satelitske navigacijske sustave, njihove sličnosti i razlike. Treće poglavlje sadrži detaljan pogled na sve dijelove Galileo sustava, dok je četvrto poglavlje posvećeno greškama te načinima uklanjanja.Purpose of this thesis was to familiarize the reader with the technical characteristics and governing principles of global navigation satellite systems, and to give a clear differences and similaritys between them. Essay is divided in four sections of which first one plays an introductory role to sheer complexity of global satellite systems. In second part reader will be familiarized with some of the most important parts of GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou satellite systems. Third chapter describes the essential parts of the Galileo system. Fourth chapter will introduce some of the problems engineers had to overcome in order to make satellites function in the way they were intended to
