Figure 26: In-band interference sources
Measures against in-band interference include:
Maintaining a good grounding concept in the design
Shielding
Layout optimisation
Filtering
Placement of the GPS antenna
Adding a CDMA, GSM, WCDMA bandbass filter before handset antenna
2.11.7.4
Out-band interference
Out-band interference is caused by signal f
requencies that are different from the GPS carrier (see
). The main
sources are wireless communication systems such as GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, WiFi, BT, etc..

Figure 27: Out-band interference signals
Measures against out-band interference include maintaining a good grounding concept in the design and
adding a SAW or bandpass ceramic filter (as recommend in Section 2.11.5) into the antenna input line to the
GPS receiver (see Figure 28).
