This practical resource provides a current and comprehensive treatment of
GPS/GNSS antennas, taking into account modernized systems and new and
developing applications. The book presents a number of key applications,
describing corresponding receiver architectures and antenna details. You
find important discussions on antenna characteristics, including theory of
operation, gain, bandwidth, polarization, phase center, mutual coupling
effects, and integration with active components. Moreover, you get expert
guidance on the design of adaptive arrays and signal processing techniques
used to mitigate interference such as jamming. Addressing critical GNSS
antenna high precision requirements, this in-depth book explains the
relationships between antenna gain, satellite visibility, geometric
dilution of precision, and the carrier-to-noise density ratio. The book
delineates requirements for both dual-band and tri-band antennas. You get
detailed coverage of a wide range of antenna designs, including microstrip
patch, quadrafilar helix, axial mode helix, spiral, inverted L, and planar
inverted F antennas. Moreover, you find a discussion on new magnetic
“metamaterial” substrates and other dielectric substrate materials.
Further, this comprehensive book presents designs for very compact GNSS
antennas for personal handheld devices and automobiles.
