M20048-1 No GPS coordinate

HI,
I have made a PCB using M20048 as standalone. I tried to use Arduino to get GPS coordinate. Connect TX and RX M20048 to RX and TX of Arduino. I am using TinyGps++ library. I tried also to connect  M20048 TX,RX to USB to TTL and there is no response from the module. I am not using any antenna because i want to use the integrated antenna which comes with the module. I checked the power and it's 3.3V, I also checked Tx,Rx Power of M20048 and it have voltage, the last thing I did is to check if there is any short circuit but there is no. Hope to get some help

Best regards

Hello Anas,

What is the blue layer? If it is copper, it is shorting the antenna having a strip ran along the antenna end of the module.

Best regards,

Hi, the Blue layer is the bottom layer. I placed the GPS on the top layer (Red) and i made isolation  Under the antenna, so there is only substrate under the GPS antenna. I am not even able to receive any data from UART
