GNSS GPS Inline Amplifiers

GNSS signals become attenuated as they travel through long cable runs, this reduced signal gain can limit the ability of the receiver to provide a position solution to the point where the signal is completely undetectable or below the ideal strength required.

STARLINK® GPS and GNSS Inline amplifiers provide a simple and cost effective means to maximise the performance of your GNSS system. Inline amplifiers address the problem by amplifying the GNSS signal to provide increased gain, reducing the effects of attenuation.

StarLink inline amplifiers are made with gold plated brass and rugged and watertight packaging. They are available with SMA, TNC, BNC, or N connectors. Installation is a simple process, just attach the amplifier in line with your antenna cable. The amplifier uses the same power as the antenna so no extra power source is required. All StarLink products come with a full, one year parts and labour warranty.

GPS DOWN/UP Converter

Inline Amplifiers are suitable for extending signal for shorter GNSS cable runs. But that solution is not always suitable for longer runs. StarLink® GPS DOWN/UP Converter (DUC) makes it possible for long cable runs up to 450 meters. Optimised for generic RG-58 cable, the DUC-1 Kit is suitable for L1 GPS installations consisting of a combined GPS antenna/DOWN-converter and an UP-converter. The DOWN converter lowers the frequency of the GPS signal enabling it to travel a greater distance. The signal is then raised by the UP converter before reaching the receiver.

The technology phase locks the converter pair to provide high fidelity signal transport. This technique uses the same reference for up and down conversion, eliminating frequency error. Generic RG-58 cable can be used for lengths of up to 450 metres, but higher specification cables can enable even greater distances.

RVL-1 GPS Fiber Optic Link System

StarLink® RVL-1 FIBER is a multi-constellation f iber optic solution for remote GPS antenna installations. RVL-1 covers frequency ranges from 800 MHz up to 1800 MHz and passes all of the GNSS frequencies (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU, SBAS, L-BAND) over fiber up to 1,524 meters (5,000 feet). This unit has been designed to operate on 12V to 36V AC or DC, allowing the use of low voltage NEC electrical wiring standards to be used at installation.

The RVL-1 utilises the advantages of fiber optic cable over coaxial including:

• Greater distance for remote antenna (up to 1,524 meters).
• Lower signal loss during transmission.
• Security as the cable does not radiate signals.
• Immune to environmental factors that affect copper.
• Insulated cable so no electrical current can flow through, therefore providingultimate in lightning and surge protection.
• Immune to electrometric interference and radio frequency interference.
• Fiber cable can run beside industrial equipment without concern.
• The cable is lightweight, thin and durable making installation straight forward.
• Lower cost to maintain than copper cable.
