Connecting the Antenna to the Receiver Card

An interconnect adapter cable is required to convert the end of the antenna coaxial cable to the RF input connector on the OEM7 receiver.

OEM7 Antenna Connectors
Receiver	Primary Antenna Connector	Secondary Antenna Connector	External Oscillator
OEM719	MCX1	N/A	N/A
OEM729	MMCX	N/A	MMCX
OEM7600	MMCX (right angle)	N/A	N/A
OEM7700	MMBX	N/A	N/A
OEM7720	MMBX	MMBX	N/A

For the location of the antenna connector on the receiver card, see Figure: OEM719 Connector and Indicator Locations, Figure: OEM729 Connector and Indicator Locations, Figure: OEM7600 Connector and Indicator Locations, Figure: OEM7700 Connector and Indicator Locations or Figure: OEM7720 Connector and Indicator Locations.

NovAtel generally uses the MMBX connectors with barrels for board-to-board mounting. These connectors allow a blind mate and are able to move slightly under vibration to reduce the potential for damage to either PCB. The mating connector on the interface PCB must be a Huber and Suhner 82_MMBX-S50-0-1/111 NE or similar.

The MMBX antenna connector can also be connected directly to a cable. For information about MMBX to cable solutions, contact Customer Support to obtain to the OEM7 Receiver Card Mechanical Integration Application Note (D19021).
