Transient Eliminators
Symmetricom offers the 58539A transient eliminator for installations that require
antenna coaxial lead-in protection. The 58539A transient eliminator passes DC
power and frequencies in the 1.5 GHz range with non-downconverter L1 GPS
antennas. In most installations, the transient eliminator mounts near the point at
which the antenna lead enters the facility.
