Roof Antenna Location and Cabling Guidelines
DANGER:
Do not select an antenna location that could be an
electrical or physical hazard to work persons or equipment.
Avoid proximity to all high-voltage sources. Mount in an
easily maintainable location.
The ideal roof antenna location provides a clear, unobstructed
view of the sky from the zenith to the horizon line, and 360
degrees around the horizon.
A compromise often must be made between location and satellite field
of view. With a smaller the field of view, the TimeSource 3600 can use
fewer satellites in the solution for GPS derived time. The TimeSource
3600 will operate with an average of one satellite in view for 40% of the
time in a day.
Signals closer to the horizon are often subject to multipath effects,
which degrade the timing solution. The TimeSource 3600 can be
set to ignore, or mask, all signals from the horizon up to a chosen
angle of elevation (mask angle). (See Figure 8.)
