Abstract :
Multipath propagation has a strong impact on the accuracy of satellite-based positioning. In this work, multipath effects are investigated by means of a measurement campaign and ray tracing propagation modelling. A GNSS receiver placed in a scenario with a single ground reflector was used for this purpose. From the deterministic channel modelling, the impact of multipath propagation is analysed by means of the oscillations introduced in the carrier-to-noise density ratio.
