USER GUIDE
RXA-52
MULTI-FREQUENCY, MULTI-CONSTELLATION, GNSS ANTENNA
Thank you for choosing TeeJet Technologies' RXA-52 as your
GNSS antenna solution. This document provides instructions for
mounting and operation of the RXA-52. Contact a local dealer for
more information or visit www.teejet.com.
The RXA-52 is an active antenna designed to receive signals
from GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo satellites as well as L-
Band signals.
The RXA-52 antenna is designed to operate in GPS L1/L2,
GLONASS L1/L2 and L-Band frequencies. The RXA-52 also
supports the Galileo E1 and E5b frequencies as well as BeiDou
B1 and B2 frequencies.
It can be used with any console with an internal GNSS receiver or
any device with an antenna input port that both receives the RF
signal and provides 3.3 - 18.0 VDC to the antenna

INSTALLATION

Site Selection Guidelines

Before installing the antenna, select a site that as closely as possible meets the following conditions for optimal performance:
• An unobstructed line-of-sight from horizon to horizon and at all bearings and elevation angles
• As far as possible from reflective objects, especially those that are above the antenna and any water bodies, which can be a strong
source of multipath reflections
• If obstructions and reflective surfaces are within 100 feet / 30 meters, ensure the site is as high as possible. Otherwise, mount the
antenna as close as possible to a reference ground plane, i.e., rooftop, earth, etc., if one exists.
• When mounting the RXA-52 Antenna, a space of at least 5.9 inch / 15 cm between the antenna and any bend in the cable is
required. Any length shorter than 5.9 inch / 15 cm puts undue stress on the cable and the enclosure for the RXA-52.
• The antenna should not be mounted where water can pool around it. The antenna housing is designed to withstand rain and
splashing, but not submersion in liquids for sustained periods of time.
• Mount the antenna above all other metal objects to avoid multipath. Satellite signals received by the GNSS antenna by a reflection
from an object can decrease positioning accuracy. For example, roof racks, large headlight enclosures, etc., can cause multipath
that may result in a jump in GNSS position.
Warning! To avoid potential adverse effects, do not locate antennas near any high sources of heat.
