Appendix
E
Installing the GPS Antenna
This appendix contains guidelines for installing the GPS antenna. Mounting the antenna with a good
view-of-the-sky is very important. A rooftop installation is usually best. The accuracy & stability
specifications in
Appendix K - Specifications
assume an antenna installation with a very good view-
of-the-sky.
Antenna Location
The location of the antenna must be chosen based on having as clear a view of the sky as possible.
Any obstructions such as buildings, large metal objects or other antennas, and even trees, will limit
the performance of the GPS antenna. The antenna should also be located away from overhead power
lines or circuits, for safety reasons. The illustration below shows some examples of good and bad
antenna mounting locations.
