Antenna-Induced Biases in GNSS Receivers

May 17, 2007 - By

By Inder Jeet Gupta It is well known that the phase center of a GNSS antenna can vary with the satellite direction. This phase center movement leads to aspect dependent carrier phase and code phase biases in the satellite signal. For precise geo-location, one needs to characterize the antenna-induced carrier and code phase biases over the upper hemisphere. In the... read more

Sounds a lot like a super-sized pseudolite to me. Now this new idea starts to sound a little more plausible, doesn?t it? read more
