Improved GNSS Navigation with Chip-scale Atomic Clocks

摘要

Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) play an important role in today’s interconnected world. Besides classical geodetic applications, like e.g., cadastre and ordnance survey (positioning), also financial transactions and telecommunication networks (timing) as well as modern fleet management, machine control and increasingly autonomous/assisted driving (navigation) rely on GNSS-based services. Within the scope of this thesis, the navigation category is of particular interest.
