Claim 20:
21. A combined satellite navigation radio transceiver antenna device, comprising:
a global navigation system sensor (GNSS) antenna element having a vertical axis;
a radio transceiver antenna element positioned below the GNSS antenna element when in an upright vertical orientation, wherein:
vertical axes of the two antenna elements are substantially collinear; and
the height of the radio transceiver antenna element is less than twice the height of the GNSS antenna element;

a waveguide element configured to control the radiation pattern signals transmitted from the antenna elements;
one or more spacing elements disposed between the radio transceiver antenna element and GNSS antenna element and between the radio transceiver antenna element and one or more other electronic elements in an electronic device or system operatively coupled to the combined satellite navigation radio transceiver antenna device;
a shielding element disposed on the side of the spacing element or elements opposite that the radio transceiver antenna element; and
connectors separately coupling to each of the antenna elements such that each antenna element is operatively coupled to an associated signal or signals provided to separate radio devices of the electronic device or system.
