The 58529A GPS Line Amplifier with L1Bandpass Filter provides gain to overcome cable losses in installations where a GPS receiver and its antenna must be separated by large distances. With over 20 dB (typical) of gain, the 58529A increases the maximum cable length from 115 to 240 meters between the 58532A GPS Antenna and a timing receiver. Two amplifiers may be used in series to achieve distances up to 360 meters. An active device, the 58529A accepts power between +4.5 Vdc to +13 Vdc.

The unit is designed to pass dc power up to the GPS antenna.
