Then around...

The continuous developments of software-defined radio technology resulted in the appearance of the first real-time GPS software radios at the beginning of this century. For the first time, it was possible to realize a complete GNSS receiver without going into the depths of cumbersome hardware development that requires development or...

Using the modern approach, the...
