Overview
The GLI-METRO-G-RK GNSS repeater kit from GPS Source is a complete GNSS amplifier system that includes: METRO-G amplifier, active antenna, passive antenna, swivel mount, pole mount, surge suppressor and cabling. The METRO-G-RK achieves the integration of the latest GNSS smart amplifier technology into a self-contained unit.
The METRO-G is a GNSS smart amplifier, designed for commercial and public sectors. When used in conjunction with an active GPS/GLONASS receive antenna, it will pass GPS+GLONASS signals inside a building, hangar or any structure where signal is not accessible. It can be used in an automated test environment or in a shielded room that needs GNSS signal.
METRO-G has the unique benefit of allowing selection for the power control between signals. A user can easily decide which signal output the METRO-G will use to control signal power: GPS+GLONASS, GLONASS only or GPS only. This reduces the need for multiple antennas, receive devices and multiple antenna runs, while lowering maintenance and installation costs.
The METRO-G employs an automatic control to maintain the set output signal level, regardless of the uncertain loss or gain in the receive antenna cable network. Derived from high performance systems for military applications, this device allows precise determination over effective radiated power (ERP) levels, regardless of the uncertain loss or gain in the receive antenna cable network. It will automatically condition the signal and prevent changes in performance.
The GLI-METRO-G GNSS amplifier will identify and isolate the following:
- Oscillation condition
- High gain
- Low gain
- Short/Open circuit
- Internal component failure
- Less than four satellites
- No satellites with adequate signal
