GPS Antenna Bias Tee – New

The Navtech Systems NTS-GPS-BiasT enables an external dc supply to be inserted into an antenna feed and the RF signal decoupled before passing onward to the GPS receiver. To overcome the receiver detecting a false antenna o/c fault the receiver port is terminated with a 200R resistor, similar to GPS Antenna Splitters.

The Bias Tee enables high voltage (+5V) antennas to be used with low voltage (+3v3) GPS receivers. Being a passive device it has no detrimental effect of the GPS receiver performance.

Insertion loss is very low and the Bias Tee has a pass band extending above and below the common GPS frequencies.

By simply inserting the GPS Bias Tee into the antenna feeder cable using standard SMA connectors, the GPS signal is passed to the receiver and an external dc supply inserted into the antenna feed.
