Canal Geomatics

With today’s technology, even basic navigation is hugely needed, and the same can be said for advanced positioning technologies for areas that include flying and navigating at sea, surveying, and driverless vehicles. By the time they arrive at Earth's surface, such signals are typically quite weak, so the antenna needs to be very sensitive and matched properly to the source. By filtering out multipath errors, the reflection of signals, and reducing noise, GNSS antennas keep the user who relies on the positional data, which can be trusted by him, even in city canyons, forests, or offshore. The application determines the GNSS antenna. There are, however, exceptions to this rule, and in some scientific or surveying applications, geodetic-grade antennas with centimetre-level accuracy are sometimes used. The truth is, when you are designing for handheld devices, drones, or, for that matter, mobile mapping systems, smaller antennas are always better; the trade-off of portability efficien...
