The paper introduces a new approach to determine azimuth and elevation dependent phase center biases through a field measurement in an absolute sense. It takes special care of the multipath effects. The model. the conditions for the field procedure and preliminary analysis of results are presented. The absolute antenna phase center calibration procedure is implemented in the GPS processing package GEONAP.
