 I am trying to decide what DK I should go for if I want to test out the BLE Direction Finding capabilities of the SoC. 
 I am interested in getting the nRF5340-DK but when looking through it all, I dont see any place I can connect an antenna</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 14 Jan 2025 21:13:19 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/117977/dk-evaluation-of-ble-direction-finding" /><item><title>RE: DK Evaluation of BLE Direction Finding</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/518331?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jan 2025 21:13:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6038ed47-9247-410b-9cec-3cc8758c895d</guid><dc:creator>YudiNZ</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Awesome thanks you.

&lt;p&gt;While it does depend somewhat on the antenna board and rest of the solution, if you use a DK for the nRF SoC then you should use the antenna connector on the DK, yes, as well as connect some GPIOs for the switching signal. Please note that there are some modules out there with both antenna array and nRF SoC, if I recall correctly at least for the nRF52833. In order to connect to the SWF RF Connector on an nRF5340 DK, the antenna array must obviously have the correct cocnnector, as well as connection possibilities for the antenna switching.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Terje&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
