GPSANT:
GPS Antenna/Converter Unit

Features:
- Antenna connected with up to 300m of Standard coaxial cable RG58
- Holder for wall mounting
- Preformed cable
- Clamps for pole mounting
- Ambient Temperature: -40°C ... +65°C
The antenna/converter unit can be mounted on a pole with a diameter up to 60 mm (2.36 inches) or at a wall. A 50 cm (19.7 inches) plastic tube, two holders for wall-mounting and clamps for polemounting are added to every GPS receiver. A standard coaxial cable with 50 ohms impedance should be used to connect the antenna/converter unit to the receiver.
The maximum lenght of cable between antenna and receiver depends on the attenuation factor of the used coaxial cable.
Example:
| Type of cable |
diameter Ø [mm / inch] |
Attenuation at 100MHz [dB]/100m |
max. lenght [m / feet] |
|---|---|---|---|
| RG58/CU | 5 / 0.2 | 15.9 / 6.3 | 300 1 / 984 1 |
| RG213 | 10.5 / 4.1 | 6.9 / 2.7 | 700 1 / 2,297 1 |
