Characterization and Mitigation of Multipath for Terrestrial based Aviation Radionavigation: Characterization and Mitigation of Multipath

In this contribution, a comprehensive overview of multipath propagation and its effects on current and future L-band terrestrial radionavigation devices is given. The line-of-sight and multipath propagation between a ground station transmitter and an aircraft is characterized based on measurement data. The paper presents different methods to mitigate effects of multipath propagation and limit the resulting errors. (C) 2018 Institute of Navigation.
