1. Identify the connector type of the Satellite
Antenna system. If the connector is not SMA
male, connect an SMA male adapter to the cable
The TEM uses an SMA Female connector.
2. Connect the antenna cable system under test to
the female SMA connector on the TEM V2
(labeled Antenna).
3. Tighten the connector until the antenna is
securely attached.
4. Press the power button
set.
5. Activate the TEM V2 Timing Module, setup the
GNSS Receiver, Complete a survey, and verify
GNSS Reception as described in the following
quick card. When you configure the Antenna
Time Bias, select the Antenna Type for the VIAVI
supplied reference antenna, not the antenna
system under test:
