Transmitter localization is used extensively in civilian and military applications. In this paper,
we focus on the Direct Position Determination (DPD) approach, based on Time of Arrival …

Theoretical results conclude that Direct Position Estimation (DPE)-based Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) receivers can achieve more robust localization than their …

This paper presents novel signal-tracking algorithms for global navigation satellite system
(GNSS) receivers using a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) technique to carry out …

Abstract The exact Direct Maximum Likelihood Position Determination (ML-DPD) of multiple
emitters requires a multidimensional searching with exponential complexity. The subspace …

Direct Position Estimation (DPE) has been introduced as a robust global navigation satellite
system (GNSS) positioning method. Its superior performance stems from the full coupling of …

Conventional global navigation satellite system receivers typically employ a two-step
positioning procedure (2SP) by first independently estimating the synchronization …

Modern aviation safety increasingly depends on reliable GPS services, while signal
degrading effects such as multipath and masking often occur during critical flight phases …

Multipath (MP) reception has been among the main issues for accurate and reliable
positioning in urban environments. It has been shown to introduce positioning errors of up to …

Collective Detection is a position domain detection algorithm that combines simultaneous
signals from multiple satellites onto a geographical search space for acquisition, and …

This dissertation deals with the design of satellite-based navigation receivers. The term
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) refers to those navigation systems based on a …
