The antenna system should include filtering to ensure adequate protection from nearby
transmitters. Take care in the selection of antennas placed close to cellular or Wi-Fi transmitting
antennas.
4.4 EOS/ESD precautions
To avoid overstress damage during production or in the field it is essential to observe strict
EOS/ESD/EMI handling and protection measures.
To prevent overstress damage at the RF_IN of your receiver, never exceed the maximum
input power as specified in the applicable data sheet [
When integrating GNSS receivers into wireless systems, pay special attention to electromagnetic
and voltage susceptibility issues. Wireless systems include components which can produce
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electrical Overstress (EOS) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).
CMOS devices are more sensitive to such influences because their failure mechanism is defined by
