Abstract
The invention relates to a device for receiving satellite radio-navigation signals comprising a plurality of receiving antennas forming an antenna array. The invention consists in using a plurality of antennas disposed around the circumference of a carrier, in demodulating the signals received by each antenna separately and then in combining the various demodulated signals, thereby amounting to effecting a beam forming in an equivalent antenna pattern. The invention then requires only a single synchronization slaving for the set of demodulation pathways.
