The reliability and accuracy of GPS attitude determination are still the main relevant theoretical questions in this particular field of study. While the first one derives from the probabilistic nature of phase ambiguity resolution algorithms, outlier measurement detection and effectiveness of multipath reduction, the second is additionally affected by geometric properties of the GNSS antenna configuration. Being trivial in two-antenna system, the relation between GPS attitude determination accuracy and antenna spatial layout becomes much less intuitive for multi-antenna configurations, and seems to have been examined analytically in some specific cases only. For example, most of research papers in the field use Euler angles as attitude representation, which have singularity in some cases, and consider the number of antennas of not more than four. We present some further investigation in this area.
