2.1.3Selecting a GNSS Antenna

An active antenna is required because its low-noise amplifier (LNA) boosts the power of the incoming signal to compensate for the line loss between the antenna and the receiver.

NovAtel offers a variety of single and dual-frequency GNSS antenna models, as indicated in Table 3 on Page 31. All include band-pass filtering and an LNA. The GNSS antenna you choose will depend on your particular application. Each of these models offer exceptional phase-center stability as well as a significant measure of immunity against multipath interference. Each one has an environmentally- sealed radome. The ANT-532-C, ANT-533, ANT-534-C, ANT-536-C, ANT-537, ANT-538, GPS- 702L, GPS-701-GG, GPS-702-GG, GPS-701-GGL and GPS-702-GGL are RoHS compliant.
