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.

This book addresses the fundamentals and practicalimplementations of antennas for Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS)In this book, the authors discuss the various aspects of GNSSantennas, including fundamentals of GNSS, design approaches for theGNSS terminal and satellite antennas, performance enhancementtechniques and effects of user's presence and surroundingenvironment on these antennas. In addition, the book willprovide the reader with an insight into the most important aspectsof the GNSS antenna technology and lay the foundations for futureadvancements. It also includes a number of real case studiesdescribing the ways in which antenna design can be adapted toconform to the design constraints of practical user devices, andalso the management of potential adverse interactions between theantenna and its platform.Key Features:* Covers the fundamentals and practical implementations ofantennas for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)* Describes technological advancements for GPS, Glonass, Galileoand Compass* Aims to address future issues such as multipath interference,in building operation, RF interference in mobile* Includes a number of real case studies to illustrate practicalimplementation of GNSSThis book will be an invaluable guide for antenna designers,system engineers, researchers for GNSS systems and postgraduatestudents (antennas, satellite communication technology).
