GNSS Laboratory: using the GPS as an interdisciplinary Laboratory on Theory of Telecommunications

D.R. Mendéz Castillo, F. Walter, K.T. Fitzgibbon

Abstract:	This paper reports recent development programs and activities in the GNSS Laboratory at the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA). Since the early 1990’s, personnel at the ITA have been working in the integration and evaluation of GPS sensors and related technology. Following directives from ICAO, ITA developed a systematic training program, described in this paper, that uses GNSS as a curricular option for Telecommunications Engineering courses. The objective is to generate human resources (RH) capable of overcoming the technological challenges and changes imposed to the aeronautical fields in the imminent presence of three main GNSS systems. Experimental project results in progress and trends of this methodology are presented.
