7.4.1. GNSS RF Front End Design
The FN990 Family contains an integrated LNA and pre-select SAW filter.
This allows the module to operate properly with a passive GNSS antenna. If the antenna
cannot be located near the FN990, then an active antenna (that is, an antenna with a built-
in low noise amplifier) can be used with an external dedicated power supply circuit.
GNSS receive path uses either the dedicated GNSS connector #4 or the shared antenna
connector #1.
