Electrostatic Discharge

The mosaic-G5 P3 GNSS receiver is sensitive to ESD. Use a proper grounding system to make sure that the working surface and the components are at the same electric potential.

ESD Precaution

As recommended by the manufacturer, we highly recommend that users take the necessary precautions to avoid damaging their GNSS receiver.

GNSS Antenna

Power Input

Active Antenna

Never inject an external DC voltage into the SMA connector for the GNSS antenna, as it may damage the mosaic-G5 P3 GNSS receiver. For instance, when using a splitter to distribute the antenna signal to several GNSS receivers, make sure that no more than one output of the splitter passes DC. Use DC-blocks otherwise.

Supported Frequency Bands

For the best performance, we recommend users choose a compatible L1/L2/L5/L6 GNSS antenna and utilize a low-loss cable. Utilizing an antenna that doesn't match all the supported frequency bands of the mosaic-G5 P3, will result in reduced performance and capabilities.
