RG255C-GL GNSS Antenna: Active or Passive?

IoT Modules 5G Module

Hello,

Could we get a reference for what types of GNSS antennas work with RG255C-GL?

We tried an active antenna and we never got a GPS fixture (waited for 2 hours), and then we switched to a passive antenna and we got a GPS fixture in less than 1 minute. Just wondering if the info is stated in any datasheet and just to make sure we pick the right antenna for this module.

Many thanks in advance.

Dear @remusmp
Here is the requirement for antanna design.
It is recommended to use a passive GNSS antenna when LTE B13 or B14 is supported, as the use of
active antenna may generate harmonics which will affect the GNSS performance.
