Annotation

Designed to educate the reader on the most important aspects of GNSS antenna technology, this book covers the theory and design of antennas suitable for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Various aspects of GNSS antennas are discussed, including the fundamentals of GNSS, design approaches for the GNSS terminal and satellite antennas, performance enhancement techniques used for such antennas, and the effects of the user's presence and surrounding environment on these antennas. It also provides a number of real case studies detailing ways in which antenna design can be adapted to conform to the design constraints of practical user devices. A must for antenna designers, system engineers, and researchers for GNSS systems.
