Why GNSS antennas are essential for accurate positioning
From navigation apps and farming equipment to autonomous vehicles and surveying tools, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology empowers many aspects of our daily lives. A GNSS antenna is the core of every system using a satellite-based global navigation system. GNSS antennas are designed to receive signals from satellite constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. These signals provide accurate location and time information, whatever the weather, everywhere on or near the Earth, as long as there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. Designing the antenna system to ensure optimal accuracy and reliability of that data is central. A well-designed GNSS antenna that is structured to guarantee robust signal reception, even in severe conditions, such as urban canyoning conditions and forest or mountainous terrain. Deluxe antennas, in addition to excellent elements, can also feature filters to destroy multiple signals and hence interfere...
