EVALUATION BOARD  

This  Evaluation  Board  (part  number:  EB_NN03-320-m-GNSS-BT)  integrates  one  DUO 
mXTEND

TM

 antenna booster to provide operation in four frequency regions, 1561MHz (BeiDou 

E1  band),  1575  MHz  (GPS  L1  band  and  GALILEO  E1),  from  1598  MHz  to  1606  MHz 
(GLONASS  L1  band)  and  from  2400  MHz  to  2500MHz  (Bluetooth).  A  couple  of  UFL  cables 
connect this dual input/output port solution to the SMA connectors for testing purposes.
