4.10.2 GPS Antenna Installation
The signals received from the GPS satellite network are at a frequency of 1575.42
MHz with a minimum power of -162 dBW. The GPS antenna must have a clear view
of the sky in order to receive the low power signals and track the maximum number
of satellites. Rooftops or other structures clear of obstructions and with a clear view
of the horizon are ideal.
Elements of a typical GPS antenna system:

Active GPS Antenna (required)

Coaxial cable to connect the elements (required)

Lightning arrestor (optional)

Line Amplifier or Filter (optional)
To ensure correct GPS signal reception, the overall system of antenna, cabling,
lightning arrestor, line amplifier and filters requires a relative gain which should be
greater than 5 dBi but less than 18 dBi (to avoid signal saturation at the receiver
input).
