2.4.3.2 Guidelines for applications with an active antenna
Active antennas offer higher gain and better overall performance compared with passive antennas
(without additional external SAW filter and LNA). However, the integrated low-noise amplifier
contributes an additional current of typically 5 to 20 mA to the ’ystem's power consumption budget.
Active antennas for GNSS applications are usually powered through a DC bias on the RF cable. A
simple bias-T, as shown in Figure 42, can be used to add this DC current to the RF signal line. The
inductance L is responsible for isolating the RF path from the DC path. It should be selected to offer
high impedance (> 500 Ω) at L-band frequencies. A series current limiting resistor is required to
prevent short circuits destroying the bias-t inductor.
