Analysis for precision GPS levelling

In order to assess the near field effects on the height component determined from static GPS field experiments, different antenna mounts and antenna were tested using different cut-off angles (5°, 8°, 15°). Fig. (1) shows the different mounts: (a) steal plate with Zeiss-tribranch, (b) Stativteller with Zeiss-Dreifuß, and (c) a adapation for the direct height determination with a levelling rod with Wild (LVG Sachsen-Anhalt).

The impact on the coordinates
Fig. 1: The impact on the coordinates are shown in fig. (2). In this study maximum effects can reach up to 18 mm.
