1. Tracking sensitivity: the minimum GNSS signal power at which the module can maintain lock (keep

positioning for at least 3 minutes continuously).

2. Reacquisition sensitivity: the minimum GNSS signal power required for the module to maintain lock

within 3 minutes after loss of lock.

3. Cold start sensitivity: the minimum GNSS signal power at which the module can fix position

successfully within 3 minutes after executing cold start command.

4.3. Layout Guidelines

The following layout guidelines should be taken into account in application designs.



Maximize the distance between the GNSS antenna and the main antenna.



Digital circuits such as (U)SIM card, USB interface, camera module, display connector and SD card
should be kept away from the 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.
