Beacon Reception
When using the V110’s internal beacon receiver as the correction
source, you will need to consider the possible mounting locations
from a perspective of ambient noise within the beacon band. The
following list provides some general guidelines for deciding upon a
location with respect to maximizing beacon performance.
•
Ensure that the antenna is as far as possible from all other
equipment that emits Electromagnetic Interference (EMI),
including DC motors, alternators, solenoids, radios, power
cables, display units and other electronic devices.
•
If you are installing the antenna on a vessel, mount the
V110 as high as possible, considering maintenance and
accessibility. In addition, ensure that the antenna is higher
than the highest metal object on the vessel.
•
If a radar system is present, mount the antenna outside
the path of the radar beam.
The V110’s internal beacon receiver calculates a Signal to Noise
Ratio (SNR), measured in decibels (dB), that indicates the
receiver’s performance. The SNR is height of the signal above the
noise floor. The higher the SNR, the better your beacon receiver is
demodulating the signal. The optimum antenna location will be a
position where your average SNR is highest. You should turn on all
accessories that you intend to use during normal operation when
locating the best position for the antenna. By monitoring the SNR,
you can determine the optimum location with respect to beacon
reception. The SNR is available in the $CRMSS NMEA message
described in Hemisphere GPS’ GPS Technical Reference manual.
