5.3. Layout Guidelines
The following layout guidelines should be taken into account in application designs.
Maximize the distance between GNSS antenna and main antenna.
Digital circuits such as (U)SIM card, USB interface, camera module, display connector and SD card
should be kept away from antennas.
Use ground vias around the GNSS trace and sensitive analog signal traces to provide coplanar
isolation and protection.
Keep 50 Ω characteristic impedance for ANT_GNSS trace.
Refer to Chapter 5.2 for GNSS antenna reference design and antenna installation information.
BG950A-GL/BG951A-GL module is designed with a passive antenna.
