Most likely you need a male BNC connector (plug).  Most scanners use BNC connectors.

The antenna has the BNC connector. I think i need SMA connector. Also it should fit into my booster box.

My booster box's connector is similar to this : http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/userimages/k2_int7.jpg

That's an SMA connector in the picture.  So that's what you would need - but if you are installing it yourself it could be difficult.  You might want to install a BNC connector and then get a BNC to SMA adapter.
