Connecting the GPS Antenna
Before connecting the GPS antenna to the SSU-2000, see
Installation
Procedures, on page 401. Then, follow the instructions below.
1. Before connecting the antenna coaxial cable to the radio receiver, test the DC
resistance between the center conductor and the shield using an ohmmeter. The
reading should be between 1000 Ω and 40 MΩ for an active GPS antenna.
If the actual reading is incorrect, you may have a shorted or open cable or transient
eliminator (if installed). Therefore, apply the same measurements directly to the
GPS antenna. This requires disconnecting the antenna cable at the antenna.
Note: The open-circuit range of an individual ohmmeter can cause
readings to vary among meters.
2. Secure the free end of the antenna cable to the antenna connector using the right
angle adapter provided with the antenna cable.
Recommendation: Symmetricom recommends coiling excess cable
to avoid gain mismatch between the GPS antenna and the radio
receiver. Coiling the excess cable also allows you to use the
factory-installed crimped connector.
Antenna Installation Completeness Checklist
To verify that antenna installation is complete:
Verify that all power and ground wires are installed correctly and securely.
Verify that all input and output cables are properly installed.
Verify that all antenna connectors are secure, tight, and weatherproofed.
