MULTI-ANTENNA-GNSS RECEIVER-SYSTEM TO RAISE THE PROBABILITY OF LINE OF SIGHT
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- two or more antenna-receiver combinations, wherein each of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations comprises an antenna and a receiver, anda position determiner for determining a position of the system,wherein each antenna-receiver combination of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations is configured to receive time information from each satellite of three or more satellites, if the antenna of said antenna-receiver combination comprises a line of sight to said satellite, andwherein the position determiner is configured to determine said position of the system depending on a satellite position of each of the three or more satellites, and depending on the time information from each of the three or more satellites received by one or more of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations, if, for each of the three or more satellites, the position determiner receives the time information of said satellite from at least one of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations.

Abstract
A system having two or more antenna-receiver combinations is provided, wherein each of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations has an antenna and a receiver. Furthermore, the system has a position determiner for determining a position of the system. Each antenna-receiver combination is configured to receive time information from each satellite of three or more satellites, if the antenna of said antenna-receiver combination has a line of sight to said satellite. The position determiner is configured to determine said position of the system depending on a satellite position of each of the three or more satellites, and depending on the time information from each of the three or more satellites provided by one or more of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations, if, for each of the three or more satellites, the position determiner receives time information of said satellite from at least one of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations.

14. A method, wherein each of two or more antenna-receiver combinations comprises an antenna and a receiver, and wherein the method comprises:
-
receiving time information from each satellite of three or more satellites by each antenna-receiver combination of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations, if an antenna of said antenna-receiver combination comprises a line of sight to said satellite, and determining said position of the system by the position determiner depending on a satellite position of each of the three or more satellites, and depending on the time information from each of the three or more satellites provided by one or more of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations, if, for each of the three or more satellites, the position determiner receives the time information of said satellite from at least one of the two or more antenna-receiver combinations. - View Dependent Claims (15)
