successful calibration can be made if the phase variation of a specific antenna is repeatable between
samples.
To obtain the best antenna performance in an automotive application, mount the antenna in the
center of a conductive car roof without any inclination. The antenna requires good signal levels and
as wide a view of the sky as possible. The antenna must not be placed under a dashboard, in the rear
view mirror, or on the rear parcel shelf.
An L1 + L2 + L6 stacked patch antenna must have a good band-pass performance from the
patch elements with low attenuation from SAW band-pass filtering. An example of the measured
frequency characteristics of a low-cost L1 + L2 + L6 antenna is shown below.
