Figure 16: Passive antenna design for NEO-5 receivers
The above design is for the USB in self-powered mode. For bus-powered mode pin 14 (CFG_COM0)
must be left open and Vcc must be connected to VDDUSB. NMEA baud rate is 38400 when in self-
powered mode.
For passive antenna designs use an LNA to increase sensitivity up to 2dB.
