GPS-301

GM-14915156 Rev 2 March 2018

USER GUIDE

The GPS-301 antenna is designed for airborne use, but it will operate in any mobile application.

The GPS-301 is an active GPS antenna, 89.6 mm (3.53”) in diameter, and designed to operate at the GPS

L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz. Its mechanical configuration is a spherical radius molded radome which

provides enhanced protection against rain and ice. This antenna includes the following:

• internal 26 dB low noise amplifier

• bias voltage from 3.8 to 8.0 VDC for operation

• band pass filtering

• DC bias provided through the coaxial connector

NovAtel offers optional coaxial cables of various lengths and models for interconnecting between the

antenna and NovAtel GNSS receivers.

This guide provides the basic information you need to install and begin using your new antenna.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

• A device with an antenna input port that both receives the RF signal and provides 3.8 to 8.0 VDC to

the antenna is required to set up the GPS-301. (NovAtel GNSS receivers provide the necessary

power through their antenna RF connectors.)

• Coaxial cable with a male TNC connector

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA

Both the input DC power and the output RF signal flow over a single coaxial cable that is connected to the

antenna’s TNC female connector.

The antenna can be attached to a surface by means of a square, 4 bolt, 1.9 inch space mounting pattern

as shown in the Mechanical Drawings section of this guide.

The integrator of this antenna is responsible for ensuring antenna installation meets all the

overall integrated system requirements.

Refer to Section 307 of www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/

AC%2043.13-2B.pdf for information about antenna bonding in aircraft applications.

Four screws pass through the housing of the antenna.

Install the antenna as follows:

1. The antenna is supplied with an o-ring. Place it in the o-ring groove of the antenna base. A user-sup-

plied o-ring grease can be used to hold the o-ring in the groove during installation.

2. Pre-drill and tap the mounting holes and drill the connector clearance hole on the surface, see the

Mechanical Drawings section of this guide for details on the mounting pattern.

3. Attach the antenna to the surface using the four mounting screws supplied (use of user-supplied

thread-locking material is recommended). The o-ring compresses and creates a seal between the

surface and the antenna.

6. Attach the other end of the coaxial cable to the antenna input port of the receiving device, which must

provide power as detailed in the SPECIFICATIONS section of this guide. All NovAtel GNSS receivers

provide the necessary power through their antenna RF connectors.

The graphics above show examples of where the antenna may be placed on an aircraft or vehicle (not to

scale).

ANTENNA CARE

The GPS-301 is designed to withstand the elements, including rain, snow and dust. However, to ensure

your antenna performs optimally, keep the radome clean and brush off any ice and snow. In addition,

ensure the TNC connector remains clean and dry and replace the dust cap when a cable is not connected.
