ANTENNA GUIDE
The ANT-A72GOLA-TW is an active GPS antenna that receives the GPS L1 1575.42 MHz frequency, the
GLONASS L1 1602 – 1626 MHz frequencies, the GPS L2 1227.60 MHz frequency, the GLONASS L2
1245 – 1260 MHz frequencies and L-Band 1528 – 1556 MHz frequencies.
The ANT-A72GOLA-TW is aircraft certified for navigation. This guide provides the basic information you
need to install and begin using your new antenna.
Additional Equipment Required
• A device with an antenna input port that both receives the RF signal and provides 2.5 - 24.0 VDC to the
antenna is required for the ANT-A72GOLA-TW. NovAtel GNSS receivers provide the necessary power
through their antenna RF connectors.
• Coaxial cable with a male TNC connector

NSTALLING THE
A
NTENNA
Both the input DC power and the output RF signal use a single coaxial cable connected to the antenna's
TNC female connector.
The antenna attaches to a surface with an ARINC-743 bolt pattern. Four screws pass through the antenna
housing.
To install the antenna:
1. Install the supplied o-ring into the groove on the antenna base.
2. Predrill the mounting holes and the connector clearance hole on the mounting surface. See the
Mechanical Drawings section for mounting pattern details.
3. Use the four supplied mounting screws to attach the antenna to the mounting surface. The o-ring com-
presses and creates a seal between the surface and the antenna.
User supplied o-ring grease can be used to hold the o-ring in the groove during installation.
NovAtel recommends thread-locker (not included) on the mounting screws.
"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
