Hi,
I recently made a design with a GE864-GPS and foolishly assumed I could use the same antennas as the GM862 without additional work. The end result is that I had an on-board LNA, an active antenna, and no way to power said antenna.
I know I should be able to use a passive antenna since I can use my GSM antenna and get reasonably good signal), but I can't seem to find any decently priced passive GPS antennas with u.FL connectors. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm looking for 100, and have been targeting $350USD total (since I shouldn't -really- need much more than a PCB antenna).
Thank you!
