Variable Gain Portable Networked Re-Radiating Kit | 30 dB Gain, TNC Connector, 5V Output, 110VAC Supply

Product Description

This GPS portable networked re-radiating kit is designed in places where an L1 antenna is already in place. The re-radiating kit receives an existing L1 signal and amplifies it then distributes the GPS signal indoors. The GPS re-radiating kit includes a passive antenna and amplifier with an external power supply for power the entire system. In the standard networked configuration, the re-radiating amplifier output port (J1) is DC blocked while the antenna port receives the RF signal and passes voltage back through to the antenna.

This product is only to be used for testing GNSS equipment/systems for the purpose of product development or fabrication.

Per the latest FCC guidance, the following use cases are NOT allowed:

• Fire Stations & First Responders
• Aircraft Repair and Maintenance
• Truck Repair and Maintenance
• Any other usages which could be considered "maintenance". 

An FCC Experimental Broadcast license is required to operate this device, with the following exceptions:

• Device is operated in a shielded environment, such as an anechoic chamber.
• Device is operated in conjunction with a reradiating hood.
• Device is operated by federal or DoD personnel with the approval of the local spectrum manager.
