TX320 Transmitter
6.3 GPS Antenna
6.3.1 How the GPS Signal is Acquired and Used
The GPS receiver will acquire a complete GPS fix at power up and once a day.
The TX320 transmitter will continue to operate normally for 28 days without a
GPS fix.
The GPS signal is used for two functions. To keep track of time, four satellites
are required. The second use of the GPS signal is to correct the oscillator
frequency. The GPS receiver will output a very accurate 1-second pulse. The
1-second pulse is used to correct oscillator drift caused by changes in
temperature and crystal aging.
The GPS is required for proper operation. After the transmitter is reset, or first
powered up, it can’t schedule a transmission until a GPS fix has been
established or the internal clock has been manually set. After the first fix, the
TX320 will acquire a GPS fix once a day. Each time the GPS system acquires
a fix, the entire GPS almanac is downloaded, which requires about 15 minutes.
6.3.2 GPS Antenna Location
The GPS antenna mounts to the end of a crossarm via the 7623 3/4-in. IPS
threaded pipe and a 1049 NU-RAIL fitting or CM220 mounting bracket (see
Figures 6-2 and 6-3). The ideal location for the GPS antenna is above
everything, with the shortest cable possible. The GPS antenna will not receive
the GPS signal through a steel roof or steel walls. Concrete will probably act
like steel. Heavy foliage, snow, and ice will attenuate the GPS signal. The
more of the sky the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of, the better the
GPS performance. Better GPS performance will show up as less or no missed
transmissions. Poor GPS antenna placement will increase the number of
missed transmissions, or possibly stop all transmission
