Recommended GPS antenna 
specifications
Antenna tests
The following guidelines apply to the requirements described in 
Perform electrical measurements at room temperature (+20°C to +26°C) 
unless otherwise specified
For main and diversity path antennas, make sure the antennas (including 
contact device, coaxial cable, connectors, and matching circuit with no more 
than six components, if required) have nominal impedances of 50 
 across 
supported frequency bands.
All tests (except isolation / correlation coefficient) —Test the main or diversity 
antenna with the other antenna terminated.

Field of view (FOV)
Omni-directional in azimuth
-45
°
 to +90
°
 in elevation
Polarization
(average Gv/Gh)
> 0 dB
Vertical linear polarization is 
sufficient.
Free space average gain 
(Gv+Gh) over FOV
> -6 dBi (preferably > -3 dBi)
Gv and Gh are measured and 
averaged over -45
°
 to +90
°
 in 
elevation, and 
180
° in azimuth.
Gain
Maximum gain and uniform 
coverage in the high elevation 
angle and zenith.
Gain in azimuth plane is not 
desired.
Average 3D gain
> -5 dBi
Isolation between GPS and 
Ant1
> 10 dB in all uplink bands
Typical VSWR
< 2.5:1
Polarization
Any other than LHCP (left-hand 
circular polarized) is acceptable.
