(5) Active antenna bias voltage: The Vcc_RF_OUT pin(pin 20) is provide voltage 2.85V. If you use active antenna, you can connect this pin to V_ANT_IN pin (pin 19) to provide bias voltage of active antenna. The bias voltage will be through GPS_RF_IN pin to provide active antenna bias voltage from Vcc_RF_OUT pin. If your bias voltage of active antenna isn’t 2.85V, you can
