I've searched many forums and haven't been able to get a solid answer on this. Using PCB123 to create prototype boards. Using a A2200-A (digikey 927-A2200-A) GPS module and a passive GPS antenna with a pin. My questions are, how do I design the 50 ohm stripline to maximize sensitivity if I have a 2cm flying lead that goes to the GPS antenna pin? Does the flying lead affect it? do I need a coax to have a shield to ground for the flying lead? and most importantly, what can I use to design the stripline? Never did it before and don't have the best understanding of why its important. Other than it is important...
Thanks!!
