With the rapid development of Global Positioning system (GPS) technology, GPS antennas are more and more widely used in various fields. In a variety of scenarios and applications, such as vehicle navigation, UAV flight, mapping and other fields, it is often necessary to use multiple GPS antennas at the same time. The common technology of GPS antennas has attracted more and more attention. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application and optimization of GPS antenna sharing technology to improve the efficiency of GPS antennas.

Overview of GPS Antenna sharing Technology

GPS antenna sharing technology means that multiple GPS antennas share the same signal source, and multiple antennas can receive GPS signals at the same time through specific technical means. The application of this technology can effectively reduce equipment cost and improve equipment portability, and is widely used in multi-antenna systems. GPS antenna sharing technology mainly includes signal distributor, combiner, filter and corresponding software processing algorithms.

Application scenarios of GPS Antenna sharing

1. Vehicle navigation system

In the vehicle navigation system, in order to locate the vehicle position more accurately, it is often necessary to install multiple GPS antennas in different parts of the vehicle. Through the GPS antenna sharing technology, the signals of multiple GPS antennas can be shared with the processors in the navigation system, so as to improve the positioning accuracy and reliability.

2. Flight control of UAV

In the flight control system of UAV, the performance of GPS antenna is very important to the positioning accuracy and flight stability of UAV. GPS antenna sharing technology can reduce the load of UAV and improve flight efficiency on the premise of ensuring positioning accuracy.

3. The field of surveying and mapping

In the field of surveying and mapping, multiple GPS antennas are used for synchronous measurement and positioning. Through GPS antenna sharing technology, data sharing among multiple measurement equipment can be realized, and measurement accuracy and efficiency can be improved.

Technical realization and Optimization of GPS Antenna sharing

1. Hardware design optimization.

In the aspect of hardware design, in order to realize the sharing of GPS antennas, high-performance signal dividers, combiners and filters should be used. These devices should have good isolation, dynamic range and linear performance to ensure that multiple antennas can receive high-quality GPS signals at the same time, and the layout of antennas needs to be optimized to reduce the mutual interference between signals.

2. Software algorithm optimization.

In the aspect of software algorithm, advanced signal processing technology and filtering algorithm are needed to improve the receiving quality and positioning accuracy of GPS signals. Kalman filter and particle filter are used to fuse the signals of multiple antennas to improve the positioning accuracy and reliability. The automatic configuration and optimization of antennas can be realized through software algorithms to adapt to different application scenarios.

3. Anti-interference measures

In the GPS antenna sharing system, because multiple antennas share the same signal source, the mutual interference between signals becomes a concern. In order to reduce the signal interference, the following measures can be taken: (1) to optimize the antenna layout and reduce the coupling between antennas; (2) to use high-performance filters and signal processing algorithms to suppress interference signals; (3) to shield the common system from electromagnetic shielding to reduce external interference.

Case analysis

Taking the vehicle navigation system as an example, multiple antennas can share the same signal source by using GPS antenna sharing technology. In practical application, by optimizing the layout of multiple antennas and adopting high-performance signal processing algorithm, the vehicle positioning accuracy and reliability can be effectively improved. Through the comprehensive optimization of hardware and software, the system cost can be reduced and the portability of the equipment can be improved.

GPS antenna sharing technology is of great significance to improve the use efficiency of GPS antennas. Effective sharing of multiple GPS antennas can be realized by means of hardware design optimization, software algorithm optimization and anti-interference measures. In practical application, the system should be designed and optimized according to specific scenarios and requirements to improve positioning accuracy and reliability. GPS antenna sharing technology will be widely used in more fields.
