GPS receivers have evolved into a necessary component of the modern military because they allow precise positioning of both equipment and troops. In this paper, we present an analysis of a helmet mounted GPS antenna. This includes a performance analysis of a standalone antenna as well as the antenna mounted on a helmet.
