 I&amp;#39;m designing a 2 layer flex PCB with the nRF51822-CFAC WLCSP package and recommended ST BAL-NRF02D3 balun and i have chosen mono-pole antenna is a good choice,because i have enough room for it on PCB and they are cheap, easy to tune and possibly</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 04 Oct 2016 08:52:47 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/16820/nrf51822-bal-nrf02d3-flex-pcb-monopole-antenna" /><item><title>RE: nRF51822+BAL-NRF02D3+Flex PCB+Monopole Antenna</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/64366?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Oct 2016 08:52:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:93c881a4-c201-421d-9f31-f2c11c4413ef</guid><dc:creator>FormerMember</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1)&lt;/strong&gt; To find an approximate length of the antenna you need to calculate the wavelength in the flexprint material. When you know the wavelength, divide it by 4 (quarter-wavelength antenna).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2)&lt;/strong&gt; An antenna trace width of 1.5 mm works fine in FR-4 substrate, so I will assume it works fine on flexprint as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3)&lt;/strong&gt; Yes, the length of the antenna is measured from the edge of the ground plane.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
