GPSANT: GPS Antenna/Converter Unit



The GPS antenna combines a planar antenna and a frequency converter, which translates the high-frequency phase-modulated spread spectrum signal of the GPS system to an intermediate frequency. This way a standard coaxial cable (e.g. RG58) can be used for the connection with the GPS clock and a distance of up to 300 meters (with RG58) or even 700 meters (with a low-loss cable type like RG213) between receiver and antenna is possible without additional amplifier.

Key Features

Years of warranty: 3 RoHS compliant
  • Preformed Cable
  • Meinberg GPS Antenna/Converter Unit connected with up to 300m of standard coaxial cable RG58
  • Holder for Wall Mounting




Product Description

GPS reception can only be reliable if the antenna has a free view of the sky, therefore it needs to be installed at a suitable location, e.g. on a rooftop. The unit is remotely powered by the connected GPS receiver (via the antenna cable) and can be used only with GPS equipment from Meinberg.

Mounting material (plastic pole and holders, clamps for wall or pole mounting) is shipped with all Meinberg GPS antennas for easy installation. A standard cable of 20 meters is included. Please specify your order, if you need a different cable lenght.
