5.3.2. Out-of-Band Interference
Strong signals transmitted by other communication systems can cause a GNSS receiver to become
saturated, so that its performance is greatly deteriorated, as illustrated in the following figure.

5.3.3. Ensuring Interference Immunity
There are several things you can do to decrease the impact of interference signals and thus ensure the
interference immunity of a GNSS receiver:
⚫
Keep the GNSS antenna away from interference sources;
⚫
Add a band-pass filter in front of the GNSS module;
⚫
Use shielding and multi-layer PCB and ensure adequate grounding;
⚫
Optimize layout and component placement of the PCB and the whole device.
