Why GNSS Antenna Placement Affects Satellite Acquisition and Accuracy

2 minute

In GNSS positioning, the antenna often decides the result before algorithms do.

The same module and firmware can behave very differently after changing enclosure, antenna position, or placing the device inside a metal cabinet.

GNSS receives extremely weak satellite signals. If the antenna does not receive a clean signal, the receiver and software cannot easily recover.

The Antenna Needs Sky View

A GNSS antenna should face the sky. Patch, ceramic, and FPC antennas have directionality and installation requirements.
