GNSS-750  
ANTENNA GUIDE  
OM-20000120  
Rev 5  
October 2012  
The GNSS-750 is an active antenna designed to receive signals from the GPS, Galileo and GLONASS  
satellites as well as L-Band signals. This antenna is designed to operate for GPS L1/L2/L2C/L5,  
GLONASS L1/L2/L3 and L-Band frequency bands. The GNSS-750 is also designed to operate for Galileo  
L1/E5a/E5b and E6 frequency bands and receives Compass B1/B2/B3. This guide provides the basic  
information you need to install and begin using your new antenna.  
Additional Equipment Required  
The following equipment is required to set up the GNSS-750:  
A sturdy pillar or mount with a 5/8" x 11 thread that extends between 3/8" and 7/8" (9 mm and 22 mm)  
Coaxial cable with a male N connector  
A device with an antenna input port that both receives the RF signal and provides 3.3 to 12.0 VDC to the  
1
antenna  
Accessories  
Additional available accessories include the following:  
A radome (NovAtel part number 01018195)  
SITE SELECTION GUIDELINES  
For optimal performance, select a site that meets the following conditions before installing:  
An unobstructed as possible line-of-sight from horizon to horizon and at all bearings and elevation angles.  
As far as possible from reflective objects, especially those that are above the antenna and any water bodies,  
which can be a strong source of multi-path reflections.  
If obstructions and reflective surfaces are within 30 m, ensure the site is as high as possible. Otherwise,  
mount the antenna as low as possible.  
1. Most NovAtel GNSS receivers provide the necessary power through their antenna RF connectors. Check  
the applicable receiver user manual for details.

ANTENNA CARE  
The GNSS-750 is designed to withstand the elements, including rain, snow, and dust. However, to ensure  
your antenna performs optimally, keep the top surface and the choke rings of the antenna clean and brush  
off any ice and snow. A radome is recommended. In addition, ensure the N connector remains clean and  
dry and replace the dust cap when a cable is not connected.

For absolute offset numbers and to download PCV (Phase Center offsets and Variations) tables, please  
visit the GEO++ Web site at www.geopp.com.  
When using the Web site mentioned above, look for the NovAtel listing of your antenna model and its hard-  
ware revision.  
Only integer hardware revisions affect the phase center offsets. For example, the numbers given for  
hardware revision 2.02 are applicable to an antenna labelled H/W Rev: 2.00, 2.05, 2.12 and so on.  
Table 1 shows typical absolute and relative offset numbers for the current 750 antenna model.
