  • Antenna combination for a mobile GNSS station and mobile GNSS station
    Patent number: 8294613
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile geodetic GNSS measuring station (1) for use in a relative satellite-supported positioning system (Global Navigation Satellite System—GNSS) for performing precise measurement tasks. The GNSS measuring station (1) has a housing (10) in which at least one planar, particularly circular disc-shaped GNSS antenna (20) for receiving circularly polarized GNSS satellite signals, a GNSS satellite receiver disposed below the GNSS antenna and having a signal connection to the GNSS antenna (20) and a first broadband radio antenna (30) for receiving and/or transmitting radio signal waves having GNSS correction information in a first frequency band in the frequency range of 400 MHz to 470 MHz are integrated. According to the invention, the first radio antenna (30) is disposed substantially at the height of the GNSS antenna (20) and at least partially encompasses the GNSS antenna (20) in the circumferential direction.
