EBG metamaterial ground plane application for GNSS antenna multipath mitigating

Abstract

An electronic band gap (EBG) metamaterial construction is presented and described. A construction of a multipath mitigating ground plane, based on the presented EBG metamaterial is described. A method of the ground plane application and installation, which provides the multipath mitigating without spoiling antenna element phase center stability, is described. A designed construction of GNSS antenna module, which contains a presented multipath mitigating ground plane, made from the presented EBG metamaterial and installed in the described way is shown and parameters of the antenna module are provided.
