Preface<br />

This Master of Science thesis is the result of my research on <strong>Doppler</strong> positioning<strong>with</strong><br />

the <strong>GPS</strong>. The thesis has been written at the Tampere University of<br />

Technology between the autumn of 2001 and February of 2002.<br />

I began my work on the <strong>GPS</strong> field at the Institute of Mathematics in November<br />

2000. My very first task was to do a literature survey and find out if <strong>Doppler</strong><br />

measurements can be used to positioning<strong>with</strong> the <strong>GPS</strong>. It turned out that the<br />

field was unexplored, which gave me a possibility to develop new algorithms and<br />

theory.<br />

I would like to thank professor Keijo Ruohonen for his mathematical assistance<br />

and other help he has given throughout the work. In addition, I express my<br />

gratitude to Paula Syrjärinne, who has provided me <strong>with</strong> <strong>GPS</strong> related advice,<br />

measurement data and excellent remarks on the contents of the thesis. Nokia<br />

Mobile Phones deserves my thanks for fundingthe project. Moreover, many<br />

Nokia employees have given me valuable feedback at the workshops. I would<br />

also like to thank the personnel of the Institute of Mathematics, especially Niilo<br />

Sirola, who has helped me a lot by proofreadingthe thesis, givingme new ideas<br />

and sharinghis Matlab functions.<br />

Furthermore, I am indebted to all the people who have given me the joy of living<br />

that helped me to complete the thesis. Especially Marjo Matikainen deserves<br />

thanks for her support duringthe work.<br />
