Figure 45: State diagram of active antenna supervisor
Firmware supports an active antenna supervisor circuit, which is connected to the pin
AADET_N
. An example of
an open circuit detection circuit is shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47. High on
AADET_N
means that an external
antenna is not connected.
Short Circuit Detection (SCD)
A short circuit in the active antenna pulls
V_ANT
to ground. This is detected inside the u-blox 6 module and the
antenna supply voltage will be immediately shut down.
Antenna short detection (SCD) and control is enabled by default.
Open Circuit Detection (OCD)
