How can I use PA to increase the rf coverage?

[gilbert7]

I'm using nRF51822 for ble. For my application, I need to increase rf power. ( My application needs +10dBm)

In case of CC2540(TI ble chip), there is application note (CC2590 + CC2540, CC2590 is a 2.4 GHz Range Extender ) for increasing rf power, but I can not find application note or comments of nRF51822 for this issue.

Do you advise me about this issue?

Could you advise me the PA solution , if you have? or could you avise me how to connect nRF51822 with CC2590?

Thank you.

Hello Kristin,

I would like to ask why you chose this PA if you want +10dBm and this PA gives you about 33dB gain.

Is there a way to reduce the gain (an therefore the consumption)?

Thank you!
