The Brazilian GNSS antenna calibration station: technical results and achievements of a cooperation between Brazil and Germany

This paper presents technical outcomes of the Brazilian Calibration Station for GNSS Antennas at Universidade Federal do Paraná – BCAL/UFPR – since its establishment in 2007. As a result of a scientific and technological cooperation with the Geodetic Institute of the University Karlsruhe (TH) resp ̇ Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the Baseline Calibration Station provides an infrastructure for geodetic measurements to determine precise model parameters for GNSS receiver antennas.
