No, in theory it need not be an omnidirectional antenna. One could use a very high gain antenna if it were able to track each satellite. If you had access to the GPS firmware one could build a phased array antenna that was electronically steered. I think it could work but it's not practical because of the very high cost and large size. Would it be possible to build a much simpler version that used a line array phased to null the nearby tower. -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
