2.1.3 Selecting a GNSS Antenna
An active antenna is required because its low-noise amplifier (LNA) boosts the power of the incoming
signal to compensate for the line loss between the antenna and the receiver.
NovAtel offers a variety of single and dual-frequency GNSS antenna models, as indicated in Table 3
on Page 31. All include band-pass filtering and an LNA. The GNSS antenna you choose will depend
on your particular application. Each of these models offer exceptional phase-center stability as well as
a significant measure of immunity against multipath interference. Each one has an environmentally-
sealed radome. The ANT-532-C, ANT-533, ANT-534-C, ANT-536-C, ANT-537, ANT-538, GPS-
702L, GPS-701-GG, GPS-702-GG, GPS-701-GGL and GPS-702-GGL are RoHS compliant.
