Non-GNSS radio frequency navigation

John F. Raquet, Richard Kipp Martin

Open publisher page 45 citations

Abstract

There are many situations in which global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) such as the global positioning system (GPS) cannot provide adequate navigation performance (such as indoors or in urban canyons). This paper describes the technical challenges of non-GNSS radio frequency navigation, with particular emphasis on signals of opportunity (i.e., signals that are intended for purposes other than navigation). Advantages and disadvantages of signal of opportunity navigation are described, along with the dominant issues that must be dealt with in order to make such systems a practical reality.
