Really? I thought helix antennae were poor choices because they accept signals at low angles. In fact the article makes a point of saying it accepts low-angled signals.

From satellites coming in at only 5 deg above the horizon, they're prone to distortion from the atmosphere and ground obstacles. Now the software can just refuse to use those satellites because it knows the angles from the ephemeris data.

But as I understand it, a lot of the multipath reflections- delayed versions of the original signal bouncing off things- often comes in at a low angle, so the antenna rejecting the low-angled reception will help. These signals traveled a longer path and only distort the pseudorange. Since this is a feature of the antenna, software can't just elect to reject these signals- and it if could, it would.

Hi Max

Have a look at the attached, this is what I started off using it with a U-Blox 6 T receiver

    Hi All,

    Can anyone help me to buy a good antenna which can give me
    accurate results.
    I am using u-blox 6T as receiver and RTKLIB.
    Currently I am using GILSON GPS active antenna on both the
    receivers (base
    and rover). I am not an expert into antennas so I wanted to know
    if this
    antenna is good enough? If not, which one should I go for. My
    budget is
    around $100.

    Thanks for the help.

    Cheers,
    Max
