Impact on the System

In the case of the abnormal GPS antenna, the local crystal oscillator can precisely generate 10 MHz clock signals in a short period, such as two months. In the long term, however, the clock drift occurs because the crystal oscillator ages. Thus, the system performance deteriorates. If the current system does not use the GPS clock source, there is no impact on the system.

System Actions

None.

Possible Causes

  • Short circuit occurs in the GPS antenna.
  • Open circuit occurs in the GPS antenna.
