Abstract:	Patch antennas with artificial dielectric substrates in the form of casted and stamped metal pins structures have been treated. Light-weight small size antennas have been implemented capable to receive the entire GNSS band GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO L1, E1, E2, L2, L3, L5, E5a, E5b, E6 +L-band signals. Artificial dielectric approach has been combined with “anti-antenna” approach to form 8 cm size dual frequency RTK antenna structure and integrated positioning sensor structure. Performance plots illustrating signal reception and multipath rejection capabilities have been presented.
