ELE4ACS/5PMC – Assignment 2018 (10% Subject Total) Due date: Friday 21st September (prior to midnight). Must be submitted via turnitin on LMS. No late assignment will be accepted. Literature Survey on GPS and GPS Antennas Overview: As part of ELE4ACS/5PMC you are required to undertake a major project. In 2018 this project will be the design, manufacture and testing of a GPS antenna. Prior to getting into the details of design we must firstly get a good grasp of the theory and undertake a thorough literature survey (literature review). A literature review or narrative review is a type of review article. A literature review is a scholarly paper, which includes the current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and do not report new or original experimental work. Your Literature Review should provide a comprehensive review of the literature relevant to your topic. Assignment requirements: You are required to undertake a literature survey on the topic of GPS and GPS antennas that will serve as preliminary research for your major project. In fact, the work conducted in this assignment can be used directly as part of your final report. • The literature survey must be no longer than 4 pages typed including all references/citations. • The survey must have at least 8 references including research papers (journals/conferences), book/book chapters and others. • Wikipedia and other webpage sources are not scholarly articles and therefore must be avoided • Your literature survey should be structured and easy to follow • The literature survey should provide you and the reader with knowledge on the background of GPS and the reception of GPS signals with a specific focus on antennas, measurement and anything else that may be important in your major project. • You must use the IEEE referencing style o examples: https://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/IEEE/all • If you have never written a literature survey, please thoroughly read over the following: https://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/get-assistance/writing/specific-types-papers/writing- literature-review https://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/IEEE/all https://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/get-assistance/writing/specific-types-papers/writing-literature-review https://www.lib.uoguelph.ca/get-assistance/writing/specific-types-papers/writing-literature-review Grading of Assignment: The following rubric will be used to assess your literature review.
