This line of transmission must meet the following requirements:
Table 21: Antenna Line on PCB Requirements
Characteristic impedance
50 Ohm
Max attenuation
0.3 dB
Avoid coupling with other signals.
Cold End (Ground Plane) of the antenna must be equipotential to the LE910C1 ground pads.
Furthermore, if the device is developed for the US and/or Canada market, it must comply with the
FCC and/or IC requirements.
This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed application.

GNSS Antenna – PCB Line Guidelines
•
Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50 Ohm.
•
Keep the line on the PCB as short as possible to reduce the loss.
•
The antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoiding
meanders and abrupt curves.
•
Keep one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; if possible.
•
Surround (on the sides, over and under) the antenna line on the PCB with Ground. Avoid
having other signal tracks directly facing the antenna line track.
•
The Ground around the antenna line on the PCB must be strictly connected to the main
Ground plane by placing vias at least once per 2mm.
•
Place EM-noisy devices as far as possible from LE910C1 antenna line.
•
Keep the antenna line far away from the LE910C1 power supply lines.
•
If EM-noisy devices are around the PCB hosting the LE910C1, such as fast switching ICs,
ensure shielding the antenna line by burying it inside the layers of PCB and surrounding it
with Ground planes; or shield it with a metal frame cover.
•
If you do not have EM-noisy devices around the PCB of LE910C1, use a Micro strip line on
the surface copper layer for the antenna line. The line attenuation will be lower than a
buried one.
