GPS Antenna Information 4.1 Antenna Type : DORNE MARGOLIN B Serial Number : 112 Antenna Height (m) : 0.135 Antenna Reference Point : Bottom of chokering Degree Offset from North : Antenna Radome Type : Date Installed : 16-APR-1991 Date Removed : 08-JUL-1996 Additional Information : Installation Removed Jan to Mar 91 OLD MARKER (H3D0.282) - A metallic flange around antenna from 18 April to July 08, 1996, generated a bias probably related to a center of phase variation of the iono-free combination observables. Such a bias was mapped mainly on the the height component of the site. The analysis performed at the Matera CGS quantified this bias in the order of: b3D 3.9 +/- 0.3 cm. (height) As consequence, for the period from April 18 to July 09, 1996, we recommend to: 1) To estimate a station bias for Matera site, whenever it is possible 2) To apply the estimated bias b to Matera antenna height. 4.2 Antenna Type : AOAD/M_T : DORNE MARGOLIN WITH CHOKERINGS (TURBOROGUE) Serial Number : 331 Antenna Height (m) : 0.101 Antenna Reference Point : Bottom of the antenna Degree Offset from North : Antenna Radome Type : Date Installed : 09-JUL-1996 Date Removed : 18-JUN-1999 Additional Information : 4.3 Antenna Type : TRM29659.00 : TRIMBLE L1/L2 DORNE MARGOLIN ELEMENT WITH CHOKERINGS Serial Number : 10516 Antenna Height (m) : 0.101 Antenna Reference Point : BPA Degree Offset from North : Antenna Radome Type : Date Installed : 18-JUN-1999 Date Removed : Additional Information : 5.
