Abstract
The invention provides a method for global positioning system mask angle optimization by identifying a mobile communication unit, providing a global positioning system receiver antenna to be in communication with the mobile communication unit, determining at least one global positioning system characteristic as a function of the mobile communication unit and the global positioning system receiver antenna, and determining an optimal mask angle as a function of the global positioning system characteristic.
Claims15
A method for global positioning system mask angle optimization, said method comprising:
- reading a first entry of a mobile communication unit optimized database, the first entry indicative of a first optimal mask angle corresponding to a first placement location of a global positioning system antenna on a mobile communication unit;
- operationally installing the global positioning system antenna on the first placement location of the mobile communication unit in accordance with the first entry;
- and
- applying the first optimal mask angle to a global positioning system receiver in accordance with the first entry.
A system for global positioning system mask angle optimization, said system comprising:
- means for reading a first entry of a mobile communication unit optimized database, the first entry indicative of a first optimal mask angle corresponding to a first placement location of a global positioning system antenna on a mobile communication unit;
- means for instructing an operational installation of the global positioning system antenna on the first placement location of the mobile communication unit in accordance with the first entry;
- and
