Support for external antenna for nrf 52840 DK

[Yash.P]

We are trying to build a box and woiuld like to have external antennas connected to it. Is there a specific product or the name of it so that we can search and compare from different vendors. 

Thank You.

hey man, I'm a complete noob with regards to antennas, but as far as I know there are different recommended lengths/types dependent on the application you're looking for, so providing more detail would definitely help (what protocol you're planning to use it for, what range in what environment you're looking to achieve and so on).

Other than that, development kits from nordic come with an antenna attach point , and I can't imagine it being too hard to hook one up to a GPIO pin (that being said, I've no real experience with it so take this with a grain of salt).

Haha, Thanks for replying, But I just wanted to confirm whether SWF/SWD to SMA converter is the only thing that fits and it cosnting around $30-$50 is final or not.

SWF is the only thing that can be plugged in yes. Alternative is to solder a coax onto the board, then performance will be directly linked to your implementation here so may/may not work.

SWF is safe but not cheap....
