GOAL:
GPS Optical Antenna Link

Key Features:

  • large antenna cable distances
  • no destructive overvoltage via the antenna cable
  • no unintentional monitoring via optical fiber

GOAL is a GPS Optical Antenna Link set for connecting a Meinberg GPS antenna to each Meinberg GPS receiver via one optical multimode fiber. The module GOAL/R is to connect to the receivers antenna input either directly on the connector, using an adaptor, or, e.g. for space reasons, via a patch cable. The module GOAL/A is to mount indoor, connected to the Meinberg antenna via a coaxial cable. Both modules are linked to each other via a single GI50/125μm or GI62,5/125μm multimode gradient fiber.

The receiver-side module GOAL/R is supplied with power via the antenna input connector of the GPS receiver, therefore no external power supply is necessary. The module GOAL/A needs an external supply for operating and feeding the GPS antenna. The GOAL system is suitable for all Meinberg GPS receivers (>= GPS167).
