Protection measure A is preferred because it offers the best GNSS performance and best level of ESD
protection.
Electrical Overstress (EOS)
Electrical Overstress (EOS) usually describes situations when the maximum input power exceeds the maximum
specified ratings. EOS failure can happen if RF emitters are close to a GNSS receiver or its antenna. EOS causes
damage to the chip structures. If the RF_IN circuitry is damaged by EOS, it is hard to determine whether the chip
structures have been damaged by ESD or EOS.
