Abstract

In the use of satellite positioning systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) significant errors can be introduced into the indicated position through the properties of the antenna structure. Of particular interest are the phase characteristics of the antenna as a function of observation angle. The microstrip antenna features a rugged, low profile and light weight construction making it an ideal choice for practical applications, but positioning accuracy may be limited by the mounting surface.
