Table 23: Parts in use on the u-blox host PCB for the antenna trace design, with additional antenna detection circuit
The u-blox host PCB has a structure of 6 copper layers with 35 µm thickness (1 oz/ft
2
) for all the layers
except the two inner buried layers, having 18 µm thickness (1/2 oz/ft
2
), using FR4 dielectric substrate
material with 4.3 typical permittivity and 0.013 typical loss tangent at 1 GHz.
The top layer layout of the u-blox host PCB is described in
, implementing the RF antenna
trace designed as a 50
grounded coplanar waveguide, with ~24 mm length from the pad designed
to accommodate the
ANT
pad of LEXI-R422 module up to the pads designed to accommodate the
SMA RF connector for an external cellular antenna and/or RF coaxial cable.
