Table C-3 lists the available accessories for GPS antennas with internal LNA.
Transient Eliminators
Symmetricom offers the FCC-250B-90-1.5NFNF Transient Eliminator for installations
that require antenna coaxial lead-in protection. The FCC-250B- 90-1.5NFNF
Transient Eliminator passes DC power and frequencies in the 1.5 GHz range with
non-downconverter L1 GPS antennas. In most installations, the transient eliminator
mounts near the point at which the antenna lead enters the facility. Table C-4
provides the transient eliminator specifications.
