The Brunel Navigation System for Blind: Determination of the Appropriate Position to Mount External GPS Antenna on the User's Body

V. Garaj

Abstract:	The paper presents the results of an experiment performed in order to determine and validate the appropriate position to mount the external GPS antenna on the body of the user of Brunel Navigation System for Blind. In the performed trials, antenna was mounted at different positions on the participant's body. GPS signal reception performance parameters were monitored and compared for different mounting positions and the appropriate position was deternained accordingly. Though the experiment was conducted as a part of the project of Brunel Navigation System for Blind, experimental findings are of generic character and could be applied to other personal navigation systems as well.
