ANTENNA
The gain of the antenna element together with its low noise amplifier and cable losses summed up until receiver
connector must be between 15 and 50 dB.
The receiver provides a 5V DC supply by default (see also the Vantenna pin of the PWR connector). Maximum
current is 200mA.
Never inject a DC voltage into the ANT connector as it may damage the receiver. For instance, when using a
splitter to distribute the antenna signal to several receivers, make sure that no more than one output of the splitter
passes DC. Use DC-blocks otherwise.
LEDs
The functionality of the LEDs is described in Appendix A.
