3.5 RF-interface   
An external GPS antenna (active or passive) can be connected to the HPM103H-6 using 
the RF-input line. A 50 ohm PCB stripline is needed on the motherboard, see figure 
below for example layout.     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 8 Example of RF interface layout on customer PCB 

The width of the 50ohm stripline is dependent of the PCB material and thickness. On 
FR4 material the width [W] (at 1.5GHz) is roughly 2 times the thickness [H] of the PCB. 
If the PCB thickness is for example 0.8mm then the width of the stripline should be 
1.6mm and so on.
