equivalent mount. Attach coaxial cable from the antenna connector to the antenna port on
your receiver.
Caution: Over tightening the metal adaptor into the plastic baseplate will damage
the baseplate.
The maximum directivity at 90
°
elevation angle (antenna boresight) is typically 8 to 10
Decibels (dB). This is on average 5 dB more than a typical patch antenna. In addition
the pattern roll-off from boresight to antenna horizon (0
°
elevation angle) is in the order
of 15 to 20 dB. This roll-off compares well to a patch antenna roll-off mounted on a
large choke ring ground plane. This antenna has a major advantage above the choke ring
ground plane antenna – it is lighter by several pounds and much smaller.
There is no difference in phase center location between the L1 and L2 channels. This is a
very important feature of the antenna. Base stations with very long GPS baselines
normally use a choke ring type antenna that has a physical vertical offset (z-axis) between
the L1 and L2 channels in the order of 20 mm. The vertical phase center offset then has
to be corrected because the choke ring antenna sees a different GPS/GLONASS satellite
constellation. The GPS-600-G then is very suitable for long baseline applications such as
tectonic plate movement monitoring or telescope alignment. The phase center in the x
and y-axis is located in the center of the antenna for all four channels due to its inherent
symmetry and co-centric type design.
