LPWA Module Series BG95 Series Hardware Design 4 GNSS Receiver 4.1. General Description BG95 includes a fully integrated global navigation satellite system solution that supports Gen9 VT of Qualcomm (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS). The module supports standard NMEA-0183 protocol, and outputs NMEA sentences at 1 Hz data update rate via USB interface by default. By default, BG95 GNSS engine is switched off. It has to be switched on via AT command.

LPWA Module Series BG95 Series Hardware Design Figure 25: Reference Design of Main Antenna Interface 5.1.4. Reference Design of RF Layout For users’ PCB, the characteristic impedance of all RF traces should be controlled to 50 Ω. The impedance of the RF traces is usually determined by the trace width (W), the materials’ dielectric constant, height from the reference ground to the signal layer (H), and the clearance between RF traces and grounds (S).

LPWA Module Series BG95 Series Hardware Design In order to ensure RF performance and reliability, the following principles should be complied with in RF layout design:       Use an impedance simulation tool to accurately control the characteristic impedance of RF traces to 50 Ω. The GND pins adjacent to RF pins should not be designed as thermal relief pads, and should be fully connected to ground.
