55700 Reference

9.5 GPS Antennas and Cables

The antenna that a receiver uses to collect satellite signals is

sometimes called a GPS antenna to distinguish it from a radio antenna.

Radio antennas are used for communication between receivers and

external networks or systems.

Note – To use older models of antennas, such as the Choke Ring or

Micro-Centered L1/L2 antennas, with a 5700 receiver, you need to use

an antenna power adapter and an external power source for the

antenna. For more information, see Antennas, page 43.

Connect the 5700 receiver to its GPS antenna using the yellow TNC

connector. Use a coaxial cable with a right-angle TNC plug at the

antenna end.

If the antenna cable length is … use …

up to 15 meters (45 feet) RG-58 cable

up to 30 meters (100 feet) RG-214 cable

over 30 meters (100 feet) one of the following:

• in-line amplifier

• semi-rigid coaxial cable

• a low-loss cable assembly
