Recommended Rf Connector For Antenna Installation - Quectel BG96 Manual

Table 30: Antenna Requirements
Antenna Type
1)
GNSS
LTE/GSM
NOTE
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.

5.3.2. Recommended RF Connector for Antenna Installation

If RF connector is used for antenna connection, it is recommended to use the U.FL-R-SMT connector
provided by HIROSE.
