2.4 Selecting a GNSS Antenna
An active antenna is required because its Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) boosts the power of the incoming
signal to compensate for the line loss between the antenna and the receiver.
An L-band capable antenna is required to receive broadcast Oceanix corrections. A compatible
GNSS\IALA antenna is required if MSK beacon corrections are required. The NovAtel V560 marine
antenna is an example of an antenna that can receive GNSS, L-band and MSK beacon signals.
