TIMING AND FREQUENCY PRODUCTS Model AS0099200 GNSS Active Timing Antenna The Arbiter Systems®, Inc. Model AS0099200 GNSS Active Antenna is intended for precision timing and navigation applications. It is designed for nominal 5­volt systems and contains internal voltage regulation, providing consistent performance over an input voltage range from 3.4 Vdc to 5.5 Vdc. This exclusive feature ensures that performance does not degrade with long antenna cables as can happen with other antennas due to the dc resistance of the antenna cable causing a drop in power supply voltage. While not optimized for 3­volt operation, the Model AS0099200 antenna will operate with dc power down to 2.75 Vdc, delivering acceptable performance with all GNSS engines. The Active Antenna is designed for long life in challenging environments. The radome is molded of ASA resin for excellent weatherability. Weather­resistant EPDM O­ring seals are standard. A plated and threaded metal coupling nut provides outstanding corrosion resistance and accepts both 1 in ­ 14 marine mount and 0.75 in NPT pipe thread. Exposed assembly screws are stainless steel. A separate mounting bracket kit is also offered (p/n AS0044600). The Model AS0099200 features a built­in LED with weatherproof light pipe to indicate when the antenna is receiving power. This helps simplify installation and commissioning by signalling that the antenna is correctly connected to the GNSS receiver. This antenna has exceptional rejection of interfering signals, low noise figure, and high gain. With a specified temperature range down to ­ 55 °C, the Active Antenna is usable in almost any location worldwide. A separate in­line preamplifier (p/n AS0044700) provides 21 dB of gain for applications that require longer antenna cable runs, up to 315 m (1033 ft). Both active antenna and in­line preamplifier are compatible with existing and proposed L1­band Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo; and L1­band Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS.
