Antenna Calibration

  • Accurate prediction of GNSS antenna performance in automotive scenarios - Accurauto
    The German federal state authorities operate GNSS correction data services for precise localisation using satellite navigation systems (GNSS). However, this data is seldom used for vehicle localisation. However, the reason for this is that large errors are caused by the vehicle's receiving antennas. Low-cost vehicle antennas have been measured to have errors of up to several metres, and strong correlations with vehicle type and installation location have been demonstrated. This leads to unresolved challenges in the calibration of GNSS receiving antennas for vehicles.
