The objective of the activity is the study of advanced techniques for miniaturization and radiation enhancement of GNSS mass-marketantennas (MM) to be applied in the design, manufacturing and testing of single and multi-frequency, low-cost, dual circularly polarized antenna with higher gain than current mass-market solutions available in the market. The antennas shall be tested stand-aloneand integrated into a mock-up representative of MM devices. The final goal is the improvement of the positioning accuracy and availability obtained with MM antennas, which will pave the way to new PNT services in harsh environments where previously it would nothave been possible.
