Refer to table 3-10 for reference only and shows some applicable cable types. Any 50 Ω, double-shielded
coaxial cable assembly that meets airworthiness requirements and the permitted attenuation requirements
(with connectors) can be used. When cable loss is calculated, a loss of 0.2 dB can be used for each
connection.

[1] RG type coaxial cable insertion loss can change significantly between manufacturers. The
insertion loss for RG type cables shown in this column is considered the worst case
scenario. Refer to the cable manufacturer's specification sheet for actual attenuation
(insertion loss) for the cable being used.

3.11.4 GPS Antenna (GTX 335 with SBAS/GPS)

Installation approval for the GPS antenna is not provided through this STC. The installer can use other FAA
approved data to gain a separate antenna installation approval. Antenna performance is very important to
successful operation with the internal GPS/SBAS receiver.
Refer to table 3-11 for approved SBAS/GPS antennas that meet Garmin's minimum performance
specifications. Refer to table 3.11.2 for antenna location information to verify an existing antenna location
is satisfactory for use with the GTX 335 transponder. Refer to the antenna manufacturer's installation
guidance for installation of GPS antennas.
