The performance of the GPS user antenna has a great effect on the accuracy and precision of the data that is obtained. This effect is often ignored or misunderstood. This paper presents anechoic chamber measurements of the most important performance characteristics of eight models and configurations of GPS user antennas, and explores the effect of these characteristics on the data collected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
