Abstract

A new radiating element design of the slot stripline leaky-wave antennas with right-hand circular polarization is proposed for high-accuracy positioning using Global satellite navigation signals (GNSS) GPS (L1/L2) and GLONASS (L1/L2/L3). Technical characteristics of the antenna with the new radiator have been studied. It is shown that the application of the new radiator decreases the axial ratio and improves the crosspolarization suppression and stability of the phase center, allowing one to increase the accuracy of GLONASS/GPS positioning.
