The truth lies in the fact that in the most of the times not enough attention is paid to the antenna＇s setup. Usually, gross errors are found in the antenna＇s centering, leveling and in the measurement of its height, which are significant. In this paper, a thoroughly analysis of the above mentioned errors is carried out. The influence of these errors in the calculation of the X, Y, Z Cartesian geocentric coordinates and the ~, 2, h ellipsoid geodetic coordinates of a point P on the earth＇s surface, is analyzed and is presented in several diagrams.
