Abstract:	Modern GNSS developments require for land-based user antennas to operate with all the available and newly coming satellite signals including such as L5 of GPS and full of Galileo, GLONASS and QZSS capabilities. This is being a challenge in antenna developments. Compact-size full wave GNSS antenna implementation is being achieved while utilizing patch antenna technology with artificial dielectric substrates. Such substrates being lightweight metal bodies by the nature eliminate essential common dielectrics limitations. Newly developed broadband antenna performance in terms of signal reception and frequency response has been shown. Antenna has approximately the same size as common patch antennas used for dual-frequency GPS applications.
