3.2.1.1 GPS
The GPS signal is tapped at the antenna port via a series resonant network (diplexer) which provides
a very low capacitive load to the transceiver. The diplexer circuitry provides rejection to radio band
signals up to ~1GHz which serves as isolation between the radio RF and GPS signal paths. The
GPS signal is filtered though a GPS SAW filter - LNA – Saw filter chain before going into the TI GPS
IC for processing.
