Layout Guideline - Quectel UC20 Hardware Design

4.3. Layout Guideline

The following layout guideline should be taken into account in your design.

Maximize the distance between the GNSS antenna and the main GSM/UMTS antenna.

Noisy digital circuits such as the USIM card, USB interface, Camera module, Display connector and
SD card should be away from the antenna.

Use ground vias around the GNSS trace and sensitive analog signal traces to provide coplanar
isolation and protection.

Keep 50 ohm characteristic impedance of the ANT_GNSS trace.
Refer to Chapter 5 for GNSS reference design and antenna consideration.
