Code 347, 348 or 352
GPS antenna (A2/49a2)
The satellite signals received are amplified by the antenna amplifier integrated into the GPS antenna (A2/49a2). This amplifier is supplied with power via the coaxial antenna cable (phantom supply). The amplified signals are then transferred via the same coaxial antenna cable to the GPS control module integrated into the
- TELE AID control module (A35/8) on vehicles with code 347 or 348,
- the COMAND operating, display and control module (A40/3) on vehicles with code 352
If the vehicle is equipped with TELE AID and COMAND, the coaxial antenna cable leads from the GPS antenna (A2/49a2) to the antenna splitter (A2/5). The control modules (A35/8) and (A40/3) are then connected to the two coaxial outputs of the antenna splitter.
The GPS antenna serves only for reception of GPS signals (no signals are transmitted).
CTEL antenna (A2/49a1)
The signals received by the A2/49a1 antenna are transferred via a separate coaxial antenna cable to:
- the TELE AID control module (A35/8) on vehicles with code 347 or 348,
- or otherwise directly to the CTEL transmitter/receiver (A35) or cellular telephone
Transmission is accomplished in the opposite direction.
NOTE: The GPS reception frequencies are in the GHz range, the telephone transmission and reception frequencies in the upper MHz range. Each antenna is connected to the corresponding receiver via a separate coaxial cable.
