What should i do if i want to place my own antenna into the nRF51822 bluetooth smart beacon?
Should i remove the Circled area ?

A &amp;quot;Bluetooth chip PCB antenna&amp;quot;. Are you meaning something like &lt;a href="http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/taiyo-yuden/AH316M245001-T/587-2200-2-ND/2002815"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; chip antenna?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t hear about an antenna that can be both chip and PCB at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t remove C4 and L1. Those parts are for antenna tuning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the value of the parts will vary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For further questions, I think the Nordic developers can help you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, do you have a link or a datasheet of your antenna?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Best Regards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF51822 Smart Beacon Antenna</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/73304?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jan 2017 02:15:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:fe1d332a-109d-4a7b-8cd1-81122a2c346e</guid><dc:creator>TB</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Mango922,
Thanks for replying.Yes, im trying to edit this schematic diagram by adding a 2.4 - 2.45GHz, 50 ohm and omni directional bluetooth chip PCB antenna for detecting proximites abt 2m between users. i am using a software called Altium designer before sending it for fabrication. but i have no idea which part of the diagram should i remove? should i remove only the antenna part or including L1 and C4?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF51822 Smart Beacon Antenna</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/73303?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jan 2017 05:47:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:93ec8836-05bb-4a6a-bd13-948db19882df</guid><dc:creator>MANGO</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, are you meaning that you want to place an 2.4GHz chip antenna?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or do you want to draw a PCB antenna?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish to hear more about &amp;quot;my own antenna&amp;quot;, please.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
