The selection of a proper GPS antenna for a GPS tracking system is very important.  The main criteria to keep in mind when choosing a GPS antenna to work with your Raveon M7 series GPS transponder is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Amplified.<\/strong><\/font>  The antenna must have a build in RF amplifier that will operate off of 3.3V DC.  The power for the GPS antenna’s RF amplifier is feed down the center-conductor of the coax-cable going to the antenna.  <\/li>\n
  2. SMA connector.<\/strong>  The RF connector for the GPS antenna is an SMA type connector. The cable will have a male connector on it, and the M7 has the female. <\/li>\n
  3. Proper Mount.<\/strong>  GPS antennas are available in many different mounting configurations.  <\/li>\n
  4. Proper Environment.<\/strong>  Some antennas are designed to be mounted on the roof of a car, others are suitable in salt-water environment and others are not.  Consult the manufacturer for information on temperature range and environmental restrictions.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
