Iridium/GPS Carrier Phase Positioning and Fault Detection Over Wide Areas

Dr. Mathieu Joerger obtained a Master in Mechatronics from the National Institute of Applied Sciences in Strasbourg, France, in 2002. He pursued studies in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago, where he earned a M.S. degree in 2002, and a Ph.D. in 2009. His topics of research included autonomous ground vehicle navigation and control, integration of GPS with laser-scanners, and augmentation of GPS using carrier phase measurements from low-earth-orbit telecommunication satellites. He is currently working as a research associate at IIT on multiconstellation navigation satellite systems for highintegrity precision applications.
