Figure 5: Separation Distances Between Antennas - NorthStar GM1708 961X Installation Manual

961 INSTALLATION MANUAL Revision A
To avoid mutual interferences among different antennas on the vessel,
refer to the drawing of recommended separation distances in Figure 5:
'Separation distances between antennas,' below.
Figure 5 shows the minimum recommended distances for the separation
of the GPS antenna from other antennas and physical mounting surfaces.
Under normal circumstances, following these guidelines usually result in
a relatively trouble-free installation.
The installer may want to adjust these distances, however, depending on
the particular equipment and how it is configured. Since each installation
is unique — according to the wishes of the customer —this information
should be used only as a guideline. It is not absolution in determining
the best locations for every possible equipment configuration.

Be especially careful about the distance between the combo
antenna and any sources of magnetic interference (for exam-
ple, the INMARSAT antenna).
Choosing the AN205-P combination antenna location
A combination GPS/DGPS antenna is available for applications involving
serious grounding problems (which creates noise issues with the beacon
receiver), where optimum portability is required, or when only a single
