I am using SIM908 GPS_ANT pad to connection to an SMB connector from where it is connected to external(passive) GPS antenna. But SIM908 is unable to track even a single satellite. I have used other GPS modules and signal loss due to impedance mismatch can cause degradation of signal resulting in less satellites being tracked. But in this case not a single satellite is being tracked which is strange. I did not use the pi impedance matching circuit given in the SIMCOM manual but I I have tried to make trace to be 50 Ohms matched (8 mil width + 8 mil gap to ground on both sides).
Now I have also used GPS antenna connected directly on the SIM908 module but same result.
Can anybody shed a light on this problem? Am I missing some settings?
Thanks.
SIM908 GPS output after AT+CGPSPWR=1 and AT+CGPSRST=0
