This article examines global navigation satellite system (GNSS) phase windup, which we define to be the combined effects of 3-D rotation and antenna phase patterns on carrier-phase measurements. Specifically, phase windup equations are presented for antennae with spatially varying phase patterns, for instance, phase patterns defined as a function of the satellite line-of-sight direction, as might be characterized by azimuth and zenith angles. We observe that a description both of the geometric rotation and, also, of the antenna phase pattern are needed to accurately evaluate phase windup for a general antenna. Furthermore, we show that there is not a unique approach for computing phase windup; in fact, correctly computing phase windup requires adjusting the model to match the calibration method used to obtain the antenna phase pattern.
