https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/111112/power-consumption-nrf9160Hi I have a question regarding the power consumption of my own PCB. I have taken a power profile of the nRF9160DK dev board and of my own PCB with the same software, but the devolpment board consumes +/-250mA when I am communicating with an AWS serviceen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 14 May 2024 20:44:19 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/483361?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 14 May 2024 20:44:19 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:593bca08-1f35-4314-abd6-e9bf85dc14e0Michal<p>Hello,</p> <p>The device negotiates the transmission power with the network/base station. It could be that the antenna setup on the custom board works worse than the one on the DK, which makes the network request a higher transmission power.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Michal</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
