The following power tests were conducted on GPS and GNSS antennas using an Agilent N6705 DC Power Analyzer. The following tests show short, 1-minute averages of measured power consumption. The power use of each antenna was tested at two separate voltages. Power use when connected to a receiver will vary depending on the antenna bias voltage of the reciever being used.
