Chapter 4 - Testing GPS/ Galileo Receivers

4.1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides details of standard tests for GPS receivers.

4.1.1

Antenna Coupler Installation 

Perform the following steps to Install the Antenna Coupler 

STEP

PROCEDURE

1.

Ensure the GPSG-1000 is within 50 ft of the aircraft under test GPS antenna (top 

fuselage). 

2.

Place the Shot Bag weight over the center section of the GPS Antenna Coupler.

3.

Connect the 50 ft RF Coax Cable to the GPSG-1000 Coupler TX TNC connector. 

4.

Perform Setup procedure 4.1.3

5.

Place the Antenna Coupler over the GPS antenna on the top side of the aircraft 

frame.

NOTE:

In a dual or triple GPS system installations, additional Antenna Couplers may be 

used via a power splitter.
