Abstract :
An L1 Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna with improved multipath-rejection capability is presented. The antenna is realized with a shorted annular elliptical patch (SAEP). Some of the characteristics of SAEP are presented briefly and a detailed account of the design is given. Measured results are presented and discussed.
