Equipment Description
Antenna
The GPS antenna can be mounted on a tripod, a hand-carried pole, a vehicle, or any
suitable means. Locate the GPS antenna so that it has maximum view of the sky, as far
away as practical from obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc.
Figure 2.1 shows a typical GPS antenna.
CAUTION
Do not mount the GPS antenna near any metal objects, since these
objects will reflect the GPS satellite signals causing multipath errors.
Mounting the antenna higher will usually reduce the multipath effect.
