GC-130 GPS Antenna Coupler Kit

Designed to solve the problem of poor GPS coverage in hangar environments or when a simulated static or dynamic GPS signal is required. Features y Provides >20 dB of antenna isolation y <1 dB repeatability y Supports GPS antennas up to 14 inches in diameter y Rugged design for ramp use Benefits y Reliable GPS simulation in hangars and other low coverage areas y When used with the GPSG-1000 GPS Simulator: − Almanac and TOD update when no outside GPS signal is available − Sensitivity testing of the GPS system − Dynamic GPS simulation to simulate aircraft movement for testing of other aircraft systems − Determine latency of the GPS and transponder systems The VIAVI GC-130 GPS Antenna Coupler provides >20 dB of antenna isolation, ensuring outside GPS signals are not seen by the aircraft’s GPS receiver when simulating a user defined GPS signal. The coupler mounts directly over the aircraft’s GPS antenna. The GC-130 accommodates the large pattern antennas (up to 14” in diameter) and Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna (CRPA) used on anti-jam GPS systems, unlike the smaller coupler that is included with the VIAVI GPSG-1000 GPS Simulator. These types of antenna are typically used on military and high performance aircraft that require GPS navigation and anti-jam capability.
