In user systems, GNSS RF signal lines and RF components should be placed far away from high-
speed circuits, switched-mode power supplies, power inductors, the clock circuit of single-chip
microcomputers, etc.
For applications with a harsh electromagnetic environment or with high requirement on ESD
protection, it is recommended to add ESD protection diodes for the antenna interface. Only diodes
with ultra-low junction capacitance such as 0.5 pF can be selected. Otherwise, it will influence the
impedance characteristic of RF circuit loop or cause attenuation of bypass RF signals.
Control the impedance of either feeder line or PCB trace to 50 Ω, and keep the trace length as short
as possible.

5.3. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth

The module provides a shared antenna interface ANT_WIFI/BT for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions. The
interface impedance is 50 Ω. You can connect external antennas such as PCB antenna, sucker antenna
and ceramic antenna to the module via these interfaces to achieve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions.
