Second, Fresnel zones are used to analyze the multipath induced by a horizontal and spatially-limited reflector. ...
In this paper, the concept of Fresnel zones is applied to two different aspects of multipath. First, Fresnel zones are determined for the line-of-sight transmission between satellite and receiver. ...

Snow Depth Variations Estimated from GPS-Reflectometry: A Case Study in Alaska from L2P SNR Data
2016
Remote Sensing
However, most previous studies mainly used GPS L1C/A and L2C Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) data to retrieve snow depth. ...
The samplings of 15 s or 30 s have no obvious effect on snow depth estimation using GPS SNR L2P measurements, while the range of 5 ˝-35 ˝elevation angles has effects on results with a decreasing correlation ...

Investigating GNSS multipath effects induced by co-located Radar Corner Reflectors
2021

The effect depends on the GNSS antenna used at a site with the magnitude of multipath patterns being around three times smaller for a high-quality choke ring antenna compared to a ground plane antenna ...
In general, the CR-induced multipath is small compared to multipath effects at other GNSS sites located in a different environment (e. g. mounted on a building). ...

Using GPS multipath for snow depth sensing - first experience with data from permanent stations in Slovakia
2013
Acta geodynamica et geomaterialia
Analysis of multipath reflections of GPS satellite signals at permanent GPS stations allows deducing the height of GPS antenna above the horizontal reflecting surface. ...
If the effective height of the reflector is varying, e.g. due to change of snow cover in the vicinity of GPS antenna monumentation, the multipath characteristics are affected, namely the period of the ...

TELKOMNIKA (Telecommunication Computing Electronics and Control)
The periodogram visualization can be used to decide which LSP is significant. ...
The results using the data at Morotai station showed that the amplitude power less than 5 comes from low-frequency signals and hence it is an indicator that the Lomb-Scargle periodogram (LSP) fails to ...
Based on the Fresnel zone mapping, the azimuth angles used in this study are within the ranges 0-20º and 200-360º, within which the signals contain multipath effects originating from the sea. ...
