Abstract:	In the field of positioning and timing for safety critical applications, GNSS multi-antenna systems currently provide the most effective way of suppressing interferences, spoofers and multipath signals. However, many of the used algorithms require a precise knowledge of the antennas reception characteristics. Currently this knowledge is typically obtained by measuring the antenna in an anechoic chamber, which is quite time- and cost-intensive. This paper presents and evaluates a technique, which allows for obtaining the antennas reception characteristics in field measurements, even if those do not provide a complete coverage of all possible directions of arrival (DOAs).
