The determination of a body position, velocity and attitude is the purpose of the navigation techniques. The most extended navigation systems (INS/GNSS), as any other HW and SW system, provide precise and accurate enough ...
Avui dia, s'estima que el mercat de la geom atica mou pels volts de 30 bilions d'euros. Al darrera del creixement d'aquest mercat hi trobem noves tecnologies,projectes i aplicacions, com per exemple, \Global Positioning ...
The cylinder in cross flow has been the subject of many numerical and experimental studies since it provides a deep insight of the physical phenomena occurring in a wide range of flow regimes. Despite a number of investigations ...
(English) Natural movements of Earth and human-based activities generate continuous ground displacements, affecting human life and the economy. In order to mitigate and reduce the impact of such displacements, accurate and ...
(English) The dissertation explores advanced methods for aircraft trajectory estimation and trajectory prediction (TP), which are critical for the next generation of Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems operating under the ...
Promising technological applications of two-phase flows in space have captured the increasing interest of the space sector, provoking a strong demand for more fundamental knowledge. Great efforts have been made in recent ...
The development of new materials impacts on all branches of engineering and, in particular, in aerospace engineering. Metallic glasses (MG) are relatively newcomers to the world of materials science and have excellent ...
In the modern era of transportation, air travel has gained a huge pace and still kept increasing. The global demand for air transport is increasing at a rate of 6%, because of population growth and ticket price reductions. ...
The research of this paper-based dissertation is focused on the Fast Precise Point Positioning (Fast-PPP) technique. The novelty relies on using an accurate ionosphere model, in combination with the standard precise satellite ...
The submitted Ph.D. thesis is a contribution to the development of pico-satellites and nano-satellites for Earth Observation and Technology Demonstrators. Development of satellites with a mass from 1 kg up to 10 kg has ...
(English) Currently, half of the satellites do not reach 20% of their expected lifetime. The possibility of recycling these "zombie satellites" (ZS) with limited capabilities would optimize this on-orbit infrastructure, ...
Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a multi-static radar using navigation signals as signals of opportunity. It provides wide-swath and improved spatio-temporal sampling over current space-borne ...
(English) Snapshot positioning is the technique to determine the position of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver using only a very brief interval of the received satellite signal. In recent years, this ...
Two research studies have been addressed in this thesis. Both of them are of actual scientific interest and are based on processing GNSS data. The first part of this thesis is devoted to GNSS detection and monitoring of ...
La transformada de Abel es una técnica de inversión usada frecuentemente en radio ocultaciones (RO) que, en el contexto ionosférico, permite deducir densidades electrónicas a partir de datos de STEC (Slant Total Electron ...
This dissertation focuses on determining the vertical electron content distribution in low and high vertical resolution from ground-based and LEO on board GNSS data and improving the knowledge of ionosphere climatology in ...
Aquesta tesi doctoral està emmarcada en el camp de l'astrodinàmica. Presenta solucions a problemes identificats en el disseny de missions que utilitzen òrbites entorn dels punts de libració, fent servir la teoria de sistemes ...
(English) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) have revolutionized location and timing technologies due to their low cost and wide availability. Initially, GNSS was limited to the american Global Positioning System ...
(English) This document presents the collection of four manuscripts published during my Doctoral academic formation, which main goal has been the real-time implementation of tools to monitor the ionosphere using Global ...
La tesi proposa una sèrie d'algoritmes destinats a obtenir informació del contingut d'electrons lliures presents a la ionosfera. El tipus de dades que s'utilitzaran seran bàsicament les corresponents a receptors de dades ...
