at 1575.42 MHz ......................................35 dB
Signal strength required at PXI-6682 .....18 dB
Maximum signal loss at 1575.42 MHz...17 dB
Note
The GPS antenna kit offered by National Instruments comes with a 30 m cable
which has a loss of 15 dB/100 ft, making the total loss in the cable approximately 14.8 dB.
If your GPS antenna installation requires a longer cable, ensure that the loss per unit of
distance is lower, such that the total signal loss is under 17 dB.
