How does ROGER GPS work?

satellite_big.jpgROGER GPS repeater operates by receiving GPS satellite signals with an antenna located outside the building and re-radiating the signals to the indoor area or covered space. 

Use of re-radiated signals means that GPS receiver is tracking the current GPS status meaning that when a GPS receiver is moved from covered area to outdoors, the receiver is instantly tracking the location instead of time consuming acquisition of GPS data.

Please note that ROGER GPS repeater cannot be used for indoor navigation since the receiver will always give the position of the outdoor antenna instead of the real position.

LED turns RED and GPS coverage is lost

  • Check that receiving antenna is in a location where it cannot receive signals from the repeater.
  • Try turning down the gain setting.
  • Check that there are no interference signals close to the receiving antenna. The system is very sensitive to interference at the GPS L1 frequencies (1575.42+/- 20 MHz).

No LED indication on GPS Repeater

  • Check that +12VDC is present in the wall power adapter connector.
  • Check that power is available in the wall connector where power adapter is connected.

Small indoor coverage radius

  • Check that outside antenna is correctly positioned.
  • Check that there are no interference sources close to the receiving antenna.
  • Check gain setting.
  • Check the repeater positioning.
  • Are there obstacles that could limit signal coverage?
  • Shorter cable run or a line amplifier can improve signal level slightly.
  • Signal splitter and additional repeater units may be required to cover a larger or obstructed areas
