hi, i gonna make a single wireless communication between nRF51822 chip and smartphone(nRF Toolbox) .

i can download some refernece layout of nRF51822 chip but there isn't patttern design information of monopole antenna.

Well for the small cost of a dongle, DK or EVK you could always cut the trace to the antenna as a quick and dirty experiment to see if the result met your requirements.
