[time-nuts] GPS antenna??

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi:

I just got a commercial 2 GHz 50 dB amplifier from eBay and connected it to a GPS antenna that was passive (i.e. has no 
internal electronics).
The neat thing about this is that you can have a number of GPS receivers all being driven from the same signal without 
using a bunch of power dividers, cables and worrying about the DC conditions at the input of each receiver.  Since each 
receiver is using it's own antenna if you attenuate the signal you can get a feel for the relative weak signal 
performance of the receivers being tested.
