Hi,
I am playing with few cheap gps modules which is having a ceramic antenna on it. I am not so good in microwave and antenna design. I was thinking to connect a small wire to the solder point seen on the centre of the flat ceramic antenna. But still I am not getting much accuracy, so I think connecting a piece of wire will not work. (WHAT IS YOUR OPINION).
Also it seems that the flat ceramic antenna is designed in such a way that it will detect the 1.57542 GHz spectrum , almost like a band pass filter (not sure)...
So what can I do to improve the GPS reception accuracy? I found that the gps module gives good accuracy in some place where there is no huge buildings etc. So would you think that a ceramic antenna with more surface area than the antenna which comes with the module will increase the satellite signal reception?
Pls give suggestions and possible antenna modifications to make it more accurate.
