GNSS Sensing and Imaging Based on Monitoring Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a worldwide set of satellite navigation constellations, civil aviation augmentations, and user equipment. A global navigation satellite system is the space-based radio navigation and positioning system that can provide users with all-weather, three-dimensional coordinates, speed, and time information at any place on the Earth's surface or in near-Earth space. Satellite navigation and positioning technology has replaced ground-based radio navigation, traditional geodesy, and astronomical navigation and positioning technology and promoted the brand-new development of navigation and positioning. The GNSS is about to enter a new stage in the next few years. Abundant navigation data are able to improve satellite navigation availability, accuracy, and reliability. Still, at the same time, there are also many problems such as frequency resource competition, satellite navigation market competition, time and frequency dominance competition, and compatibility and interoperability debates.

The purpose of this topic is to further investigate global navigation satellite systems. Topics may include, but are not limited to, GNSS, GNSS positioning technology, GNSS-R technology, GNSS occultation (of stars) technology, integrated navigation technology, multi-frequency, multi-system joint positioning technology, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
