5.2. Antenna Requirements
The following table shows the requirements on main antenna, Rx-diversity antenna and GNSS antenna.
Table 20: Antenna Requirements
1. It is recommended to use a passive GNSS antenna when LTE B13 or B14 is supported, as the use of
active antenna may generate harmonics which will affect the GNSS performance.
2. Since the GNSS port has a 2.85V voltage output, a passive antenna that causes shorting to GND,
such as PIFA antenna is not recommended.
