The AS-1090 is a pre amplifier designed specially for the Virtual Radar receivers SBS-3 and Radarbox. With such an amplifier the reception range of the SBS-3 is considerably extended. The AS-1090 can be used with any passive antenna like the GP-1090 or a discone antenna.
An antenna pre-amp should always be mounted as close to the antenna as possible, not at the end of the (long) cable. If the pre-amp is used at the end of the cable (downstairs) it will still amplify the signal, but also the noise added by the cable. This results in a worse signal to noise ratio (SNR) and thereby in less effective decoding of signals. Another advantage of using the pre-amp right at the antenna is that you can use cheaper cable with higher attenuation for the long downlead to your shack.
