13.1 Antenna Coaxial Cable Fixing

The following constraints must be respected in the Telit GM862-GPS modules antenna cable connection:

• The fixing point of the coaxial cable must not be placed too close to the antenna connector of the

GM862 module, leaving at least 30mm of flexible cable between the fixed point and the plug end.

• The fixing point must be at the same height of the GM862 module antenna connector, eventually

using a wedge between the PCB and the cable if it is directly fixed to the PCB.

• The flexible cable must never be bent with a radius lower than 25mm (RG174 cable).

• The cable must be a RG174 type or more flexible ones.

The following pictures explain these constraints:
