Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 15:
16. A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver comprising:
a first linear polarization antenna configured to receive a first linear polarization component of a GNSS signal;
a second linear polarization antenna;
a tuner configurable to tune the second linear polarization antenna to a GNSS band to receive a second linear polarization component of the GNSS signal and a radio frequency signal conforming to a second wireless communication technology;
a hybrid coupler configured to, based on a first operation condition associated with the GNSS receiver, combine the first linear polarization component of the GNSS signal and the second linear polarization component of the GNSS signal to generate a circularly polarized GNSS signal, or based on a second operation condition associated with the GNSS receiver, use the first linear polarization component of the GNSS signal to generate a linearly polarized GNSS signal; and
an n-plexer configured to separate the second linear polarization component of the GNSS signal and the radio frequency signal conforming to the second wireless communication technology, and send the second linear polarization component of the GNSS signal directly to the hybrid coupler and not directly to a radio frequency (RF) receiver.
