A Monte Carlo Based Simulation for Predicting Effects of the Antenna Subsystem Design on GPS User Set Performance

Garrett D. Quackenbush, Stephen S. Chappell

Abstract:	This paper presents an analytical approach to establish the GPS user equipment performance given real world degrada­tion, especially real world antenna patterns. This Monte Carlo simulation approach can be applied for analysis of GPS user equipment antennas which do not exhibit uniform pattern shape and in simulated jamming scenarios.
