Absolute Kalibrierung von GNSS Antennen
Absolute GNSS Antenna Calibration - development of a concept

- Robot for absolute field calibration of GNSS antennae
The development of the absolute field calibration of GNSS antennae was funded by the Minitry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in a project "Entwicklung und Erprobung eines Verfahrens zur hochpräzisen Kalibrierung von GPS-Antennenaufstellungen". Within a cooperation with Geo++ (Gesellschaft für satellitengestützte und navigatorische Technologien mbH) this method was developed.This method is distinguished by a real time process with a robot to determine elevation and azimutal depended phase center variations (PCV) of GNSS antennae with sub millimeter precision.
A very detailled overview of this method can be found in publications and on the following sides:
- PCV Calibration of GNSS Antennas General Overview
- Absolute PCV Field Calibration Basics and Procedure
- Discussion of Absolute PCV Effects, Large Networks, Engineering Applications
- Absolute PCV Calibration & Results of AOAD/M_T Details, Accuracy, Precision
