There are no user-serviceable parts in the antenna and no maintenance is required. When the GPSCard status code indicates that the unit is faulty, replace with another unit and return the faulty unit to NovAtel Inc. You must obtain a RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION (RMA) number by calling GPS Customer Service at 1-800-280-2242 (North America only) or 403-295-4900 before shipping any product to NovAtel or Dealer. Once you have obtained an RMA number, you will be advised of proper shipping procedures to return any defective product. When returning any product to NovAtel, please return the defective product in the original packaging to avoid ESD and shipping damage. © 2001 NovAtel Inc.

November 1, 2001 OM-20000051 Rev. 5 NovAtel Inc. 1120 – 68th Avenue N.E. Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2E 8S5 http://www.novatel.ca INTRODUCTION The performance of the Model 600-G can be summarized as follows: • Very good sensitivity to right hand circularly polarized signals over a wide range of elevations and in all azimuth directions • Excellent amplitude radiation pattern roll-off near the horizon, in effect eliminating multipath-generated replicas of the original line-of-sight (LOS) signal • Very good axial ratio, thus ensuring that a high quality signal is received • Common location and stable phase center for all four channels (GLONASS and GPS L1 and L2). The phase center in the x and y-axis is located in the center of the antenna for all channels due to its inherent symmetry and co-centric type design. • Enhanced immunity against electromagnetic interference • Better radiation “hardening” from lightening or EMP (electromagnetic pulse) effects • High-speed transient voltage suppressor • Operational temperature range from cold to hot extremes The Model 600-G can be distinguished from other GPS-600 models by its red rim. DESCRIPTION The Model 600-G antenna is an active antenna designed to operate at the GPS and GLONASS L1 and L2 frequencies. The slot array antenna element is coupled to a lownoise amplifier (LNA). The unit is optimized to receive right-hand-circularly-polarized signals. Its radiation pattern is shaped to reduce signals arriving at low elevation angles. These features decrease the errors associated with electromagnetic interference and multipath. The Model 600-G antenna is intended for surveying and other kinematic positioning applications. The sealed radome allows the antenna to be used in severe weather, marine applications and hostile environments. The unit's compact size and light weight ensure its portability. Both the input DC power and the output RF signal flow over a single coaxial cable connected to the unit's TNC female connector. To mount the antenna, ensure the adapter is screwed into the antenna base (finger tighten only). It is best to leave this adapter in at all times as it protects the plastic threads of the antenna itself. Screw the bottom of the adapter onto a range pole, tribrach, tripod or other equivalent mount. Attach coaxial cable from the antenna connector to the antenna port on your receiver. Caution: Over tightening the metal adaptor into the plastic baseplate will damage the baseplate. The maximum directivity at 90° elevation angle (antenna boresight) is typically 8 to 10 Decibels (dB). This is on average 5 dB more than a typical patch antenna. In addition the pattern roll-off from boresight to antenna horizon (0° elevation angle) is in the order of 15 to 20 dB. This roll-off compares well to a patch antenna roll-off mounted on a large choke ring ground plane. This antenna has a major advantage above the choke ring ground plane antenna – it is lighter by several pounds and much smaller. There is no difference in phase center location between the L1 and L2 channels. This is a very important feature of the antenna. Base stations with very long GPS baselines normally use a choke ring type antenna that has a physical vertical offset (z-axis) between the L1 and L2 channels in the order of 20 mm. The vertical phase center offset then has to be corrected because the choke ring antenna sees a different GPS/GLONASS satellite constellation. The GPS-600-G then is very suitable for long baseline applications such as tectonic plate movement monitoring or telescope alignment. The phase center in the x and y-axis is located in the center of the antenna for all four channels due to its inherent symmetry and co-centric type design. – MECHANICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS – Finish: Weight: Altitude: Temperature: Weatherable polymer ≈ 730 g (25.75 oz) 3000 m (9842.5 ft) -55 °C to +85 °C (-67 °F to +185 °F) – MECHANICAL DRAWINGS – 3+$6(&(17(5 6LGH9LHZ 7$3(0($685( 7,3+2/'(5 &211(&725 &29(5 $'$37(5 – ELECTRICAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – GPS GLONASS 3 dB pass L1: band: L2: 1575 ± 8 MHz 1228 ± 10 MHz 1602 ± 7 MHz 1246 ± 6 MHz Out-of-band rejection: fc (L1)-50 MHz: 15 dB; +50: 10 fc (L1)-100 MHz: 40 dB; +100: 30 fc (L1)-50 MHz: 5 dB; +50: 15 fc (L1)-100 MHz: 25 dB; +100: 45 fc (L2)-50 MHz: 25 dB; +50: 20 fc (L2)-100 MHz: 45 dB; +100: 45 fc (L2)-50 MHz: 5 dB; +50: 25 fc (L2)-100 MHz: 30 dB; +100: 50 28 ± 3 dB 31 ± 3 dB 24 ± 3 dB 28 ± 3 dB LNA gain: L1: L2: Antenna elev. pattern: (90° = zenith) 7RS9LHZ &/ 3+$6(&(17(5/$%(/ ,OOXVWUDWLRQRQO\PD\FKDQJH &/ θ = 90°: 7.5 dBic (L1 min.), 6.5 dBic (L2 min.) 20° ≤ θ < 90°: -1.5 dBic (L1 min.), -1.5 dBic (L2 min.) 5° ≤ θ < 20°: -5.5 dBic (L1 min.), -3.5 dBic (L2 min.) 0° ≤ θ < 5°: -7.0 dBic (L1 min.), -5.0 dBic (L2 min.)
