Default Passive reradiating antenna

Hi,

I've seen here before suggestions about using a tuned loop to increase
the gain of radio controlled clocks. Do you think this could also be
used to increase the gain of a gps receiver?

I guess that loop should be 1wl circumference, or about 2 1/2 inch
diameter, easy enought to cary in a pocket and play with.

I know one can not have more than 0 dB with full omni, I just guess the
minimalistic antenna in pocketable gps is way below 0 dB and could
maybe be improved a little.

Could this be modeled in EZNEC, one segment with some series resitance
for high loss antenna and the other 19 to simulate the loop?
