Installation of GPS Antenna

11

The GPS antenna is mounted in an elevated position and free of shadow

effect from the ship's superstructure.

The GPS antenna has a free view through 360 degrees with a vertical

angle of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon.

As the received GPS signal is very sensitive to noise and interference

generated by other onboard transmitters, ensure that the GNSS antenna

is placed as far away as possible from radar, Inmarsat and Iridium

transmitters and ensure the GPS antenna is free from direct view of the

radar and the Inmarsat beam.

It is also important that the MF/HF and other VHF transmitter antennas

are kept as far away as possible from the GNSS antenna. It is good

practice never to install a GNSS antenna within a radius of 2 meters from

these antennas.
