AES-CELLIOT-AVT9152MOD DATASHEET 2.2. GPS Receiver Input Connector A µ.FL conenctor (J1) is provided for user to connect to an external GPS antenna. J1 is connected to GPS receiver input port of nRF9160. J1 The receiver supports GPS L1/CA reception. In Nordic’s white paper “nWP033- nRF9160 Antenna and RF Interface Guidelines”, it is recommended to use active GPS antenna with LNA gain >15dB. A 3V supply is provided to power external active GPS antenna via J1.

AES-CELLIOT-AVT9152MOD DATASHEET 6. DESIGN GUIDELINES Please take note of following guidelines when designing Host PCB: There should be no copper pattern at the area underneath Bluetooth SMD antenna, on all layers of PCB. Orientate the Module with the “no-copper area” at one corner of Host PCB, so that Bluetooth signal radiated from the SMD antenna is not blocked by adjacent components. There are some exposed test pads at bottom side of module, for internal testing purpose.
AES-CELLIOT-AVT9152MOD DATASHEET If LTE antenna is of external swivel type, it is probably a 50Ω antenna. A π matching network (C1/R1/C2) between LTE_ANT and antenna will be adequate. The matching components should be placed as close to antenna as possible. Default values of R1 is 0Ω while C1 and C2 are not mounted. User can optimize their values with antenna and casing in place.
