I need to use the 1 PPS and event marker No these are not necessary for H320 operation What should I do with the 1 PPS signal if do not want to use it This signal will be strobing at 1 Hz so it should not be connected What should I do with the manual mark input if am not going to use it Do not connect the pin because this signal is active low Do 1 need to use the lock indicators No these are present for applications where it is desirable to have an LED visible to the user These signals need to be transistor buffered as these lines can only offer 1 mA Depending on the product and the application LEDs can be very useful to the end user These signals are active low Do I need to use a shield can for the H320 Not necessarily but you may need to if there are RF interference issues such as if the H320 interferes with other devices A shield can would be a good start in terms of investigating the benefit If you are designing a smart antenna system one is likely needed Hemisphere GPS recommends that you always conduct an RF prescan when integrating OEM boards If my company wishes to integrate this product what type of engineering resources will I need to do this successfully Hemisphere GPS recommends you have sufficient engineering resources with the appropriate skills in and understanding of the following Electronic design including power supplies and level translation RF implications of working with G
