Blocked signals and multipath cancellation may significantly increase GPS signals acquisition time.
Multipath Cancellation is caused by reflected signals that reach the antenna out of phase with the direct
signal due to vertical reflective objects positioned to the side and above the antenna. To solve these
problems, user must mount the antenna at least 1 meter away from and above the reflecting surface.
To properly receive GPS signals, the GPS antenna needs to be mounted clear of buildings as
surrounding elements or heighted obstacles may block the GPS signals transmission done with the
satellites. For complete antenna signals coverage, the antenna needs to have a clear view of the sky and
if the antenna is mounted in a less favourable location, it may work however GPS antenna signals
reception capability may be somewhat limited/deteriorated during certain hours of the day.
