Antennas for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (PDF)

This book addresses the fundamentals and practical
implementations of antennas for Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS)

In this book, the authors discuss the various aspects of GNSS
antennas, including fundamentals of GNSS, design approaches for the
GNSS terminal and satellite antennas, performance enhancement
techniques and effects of user's presence and surrounding
environment on these antennas. In addition, the book will
provide the reader with an insight into the most important aspects
of the GNSS antenna technology and lay the foundations for future
advancements. It also includes a number of real case studies
describing the ways in which antenna design can be adapted to
conform to the design constraints of practical user devices, and
also the management of potential adverse interactions between the
antenna and its platform.

Key Features:

* Covers the fundamentals and practical implementations of
antennas for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)

* Describes technological advancements for GPS, Glonass, Galileo
and 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 practical
implementation of GNSS

This book will be an invaluable guide for antenna designers,
system engineers, researchers for GNSS systems and postgraduate
students (antennas, satellite communication technology). R&D
engineers in mobile handset manufacturers, spectrum engineers will
also find this book of interest.
