GPS antennas receive signals from various satellites and use this data to determine their exact position and time.

For optimal signal reception, the antenna must be mounted outdoors with a clear view of the sky.

By nature, the signal strength of the received data is rather weak. For the signals to still be evaluated reliably in the connected components, the ANT896-5ML comes equipped with an integrated, low-noise repeater. It is supplied with power from the active device (e.g. LOGO!CMR2020) via the antenna connection cable. The current consumption of the antenna is so low that it can also be provided by battery-operated GPS receivers.

In addition, the antenna comes equipped with a two-stage SAW filter with high attenuation which makes it possible to set up the antenna close to the senders.
