 I am trying to develop a PCB for the NRF52 that will use bluetooth capability. However, I was wondering if there were smaller antenna&amp;#39;s that could be used rather than the one on the development kit since it will be too big. Also, I&amp;#39;m not sure I</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 17 Oct 2016 08:41:27 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/17087/antenna-s-for-nrf52-pcb" /><item><title>RE: Antenna's for NRF52 PCB?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/65515?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Oct 2016 08:41:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:85813768-18ff-4942-b700-16952f7b5d82</guid><dc:creator>Ole Bauck</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There are basically three antennas you can use: PCB antenna (Quarter wave monopole antenna), meander antenna and chip antenna. The difference between them is described in &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/1373/antenna-selection/?answer=1387#post-id-1387"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; post. The meander antenna will have slightly better gain than a chip antenna.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to use a meander antenna, you can copy the one used on the nRF51 dongle. The hardware design files for the dongle can be found &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/38683/4/99731533"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
