The anti-jamming antenna is one of the most efficient ways to resist the adversary effect of the interference signal in GNSS positioning. Most anti-jamming antennas can adaptively adjust the radiation figure of the antenna to minimize the interference impact. A side effect of changing the radiation...

description The anti-jamming antenna is one of the most efficient ways to resist the adversary effect of the interference signal in GNSS positioning. Most anti-jamming antennas can adaptively adjust the radiation figure of the antenna to minimize the interference impact. A side effect of changing the radiation figure is that the antenna phase center (APC) is also changed accordingly. Meanwhile, a stable phase center is a prerequisite for high precision GNSS positioning, thus the anti-jamming and high-precision becomes a dilemma for the GNSS antenna design. This study proposed an efficient antenna phase center variation (PCV) compensation algorithm for the anti-jamming antennas which enables real-time high-precision applications with the anti-jamming antennas. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with the short baseline tests, and the results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reduce the carrier phase residuals by compensation of the anti-jamming antenna PCV and consequently, the 3D root mean squares (RMS) of real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning in two experiments is improved by 42.3% and 9.7% respectively. After PCV correction, the RTK positioning with the anti-jamming antennas achieves better than 4 cm accuracy.
