Abstract:	Satellite navigation becomes of more and more importance for civil applications. Nowadays, there are two systems operational, GPS of the USA and GLONASS operated by Russia Although the number of visible satellites is improved there still is a need of additional augmentations, in order to increase the performance of the navigation system. For example, in the landmobile area the accuracy and availability of the satellite signal will be strongly influenced by shadowing, blocking and multipath due to environmental conditions. In this presentation the usage of the satellite navigation systems GPS and GLONASS in combination with additional sensors is shown. The concept, especially suitable in the landmobile area, will be described here. Furthermore it will be shown, that the efficiency of the satellite signal reception can be improved using antennas with special characteristics. This will be demonstrated on a special application in precision farming which is well suited to be representative for other landmobile applications like rail and road traffic. First results will be shown here.
