&lt;p&gt;Yes, this should be possible by using a RF switch/antenna diversity switch. You can then use &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s132.sds/dita/softdevices/s130/radio_notif/radio_notif_palna.html?resultof=%22%50%6f%77%65%72%22%20%22%70%6f%77%65%72%22%20%22%41%6d%70%6c%69%66%69%65%72%22%20%22%61%6d%70%6c%69%66%69%22%20%22%4c%6f%77%22%20%22%6c%6f%77%22%20%22%4e%6f%69%73%65%22%20%22%6e%6f%69%73%22%20%22%63%6f%6e%74%72%6f%6c%22%20%22%63%6f%6e%66%69%67%75%72%61%74%69%6f%6e%22%20%22%63%6f%6e%66%69%67%75%72%22%20%22%28%50%41%2f%4c%4e%41%29%22%20"&gt;PA/LNA control&lt;/a&gt; to tell when a TX or RX radio event is coming up, in order to switch between the TX/RX antennas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using two antennas for TX/RX is not a normal use-case, so we don’t have any reference design for this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
