GPS Receiver - GPS Antenna

As with the base system, the rover GPS receiver requires an antenna to receive satel-

lite signals. The same type of cable is used as in the base system. In some cases,

the cables will differ only in length. This makes the cables interchangeable if neces-

sary.

The GPS receiver – GPS antenna connection particulars are identical for the base

and rover systems. Please refer to the discussion on GPS receiver – GPS antenna

connection under the Base System above for more details.

The rover radio requires an antenna to receive transmissions from the base radio.

This is accomplished by connecting the radio antenna to the radio through a coaxial

cable (Figure 3.16). The radio antenna cable for the rover is specially designed to

function at the rover therefore it is not interchangeable with the base radio antenna

cable.

The radio antenna cable connects to the radio via either a TNC or BNC, type connec-

tor depending on which type of radio used. If the remote radio is a Pacific Crest UHF/

VHF radio, internal or external to the rover GPS receiver, the connector will be BNC.

If the remote is utilizing an Ashtech SSRadio, internal or external to the rover GPS
