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 />
