Work in progress — GnssEduPack: An innovative approach to education and training in the field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems

The aim of this paper is to introduce the GnssEduPack, which is a training kit in the field of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) which is oriented towards university students and GNSS application developers. The whole idea behind the GnssEduPack is to provide students with a new tool, which, beside providing theoretical background and explanations, allows for consistent experimental activity with real GNSS signals thus bringing the student directly in contact with practice. The key feature of the GnssEduPack is the emphasis on practical problems of real GNSS oriented engineering, which is made possible by the use of the SAT_SURF Suite, a light, compact and easy-to-use hardware/software experimental platform.
