Global positioning system antenna, function - GF82.61-P-4106-04C

Function 

The satellite signals received by the GPS antenna (A2/23)  are amplified by the installed antenna amplifier. The output signal is transmitted to the global positioning system control module via the co-axial antenna cable. The power for the antenna amplifiers is supplied via the co-axial connector cable. Operating voltage and satellite signals are transmitted simultaneously. They are decoupled by appropriate filters, reciprocal influence of the signals is excluded.

IMPORTANT The antenna signal is in an extremely high frequency range (microwave). Already slight damage of the antenna cable (kinks) can lead to reduced reception. The satellites can only be received outdoors. They spread in the same manner as light The GPS antenna (A2/23)  serves only for reception  of GPS signals; signals are not transmitted.
