Antenna cables and accessories enable versatile solutions. Our inline GNSS amplifiers installed at the antenna are an easy way to extend cable runs from 225 feet to up to 900 feet, depending on cable type. Our lightning arrestors provide valuable electrical shock protection to the downstream equipment. Antenna cable splitters leverage a single antenna and cable for up to four GNSS receivers.
Ordering antenna components is a simple task if you have a rough idea of the total cable length needed between the TimeProvider® 4100 time server and the mounting location of the antenna. Any extra cable can be coiled to the side.
You can order pre-configured kits that include cable, antenna and related mounting accessories from us. These kits vary by total cable length and are based on whether a lightning arrestor is required or not. For long cable runs (>225 feet), the components are assembled individually.
This wide-band antenna is a precise, high-gain GNSS antenna that covers the BeiDouB1, Galileo E1, GPS L1, GLONASS L1 and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS and MSAS) frequency bands in the range of 1557 MHz to 1606 MHz.
This standard antenna used with the TimeProvider® 4100 time server is a high-gain (40 dB) GNSS antenna that covers the GPS L1, Galileo E1, GLONASS L1 and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS and MSAS) frequency bands in the range of 1575 MHz to 1606 MHz.
This wide-band antenna is a precision, high-gain GNSS antenna covering the BeiDou B1, Galileo E1, GPS L1, GLONASS L1 and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, QZSS and MSAS) frequency bands in the range of 1557 MHz to 1606 MHz.
This multi-band antenna (Part number 112-00163-000) is an Accutenna® technology antenna. It provides triple-band GPS/QZSS-L1/L2/L5, GLONASS-G1/G2/G3, Galileo-E1/E5a/E5b, BeiDou-B1/B2/B2a and NavIC-L5, including the Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), frequency bands, which are available in the region of operation—WAAS (North America), EGNOS (Europe), MSAS (Japan) or GAGAN (India). It also provides L-band correction services coverage and is especially designed for precision triple-frequency positioning.
The GNSS RF-over-fiber kit is composed of an RF-to-fiber transmitter, a fiber-to-RF receiver, two external power supplies and four adapter cables. The fiber cable provided is a 3-meter-long cable that can be used for bench testing if needed.
Cable length is a common cause for signal loss between the GNSS antenna and the GNSS receiver. As with any electromagnetic radio wave, GNSS signals become attenuated as they pass through an electrical cable. The amount of signal loss depends on the length and type of cable used. The inline amplifier attaches between the antenna and the antenna cable and uses the same power as the antenna, so does not require extra wiring.
Lightning strikes pose a significant threat to communication infrastructure worldwide by frequently damaging GPS antennas and receivers. Such damage often occurs not from direct strikes but from the high voltages induced when lightning hits nearby structures. To mitigate this risk, GPS antennas should be placed 15 meters away from lightning rods, towers or any structures that attract lightning.
This multi-band, 1:4 active splitter makes it possible to use a single GNSS referencing antenna/cable arrangement for multiple synchronization systems.
