The GPS antenna is a ceramic SMT type. The GPS antenna as such is built up with the ceramic SMT component

tuned with two tuning components to the GPS frequency of 1575 MHz.

Antenna troubleshooting
Main antenna
Check that the GND and feed pads take proper contact to the C-Clips on the main PWB. Also check visually that
all the matching components are soldered on the flex. In case of damage, the whole antenna module needs
to be replaced.
If only low band or high band is working properly, it may indicate a faulty matching network. Defects in the
solderings or breaks in the wiring of matching should be seen. In this case, also antenna module needs to
be replaced.
