Hi, I have used this antenna for my nRF51 layout, but it seems that the device is using very high currents! like in order of 200mA, I just wanted to know if this is because the antenna is a short circuit at DC or I have done something else wrong!

Thanks, the schematics is regular with Nordic, the antenna is connected to it, and only one end of antenna is grounded
Are you, really, saying that the node in the schematic labelled ANT is connected to GND ????
See my answer below, as I can't seem to upload images to comments
Sorry. I can't post images as comments, So I'm trying to upload an image as an answer
but is this what you did ??
(See line in red at the end of the antenna to GND)
Is that the actual schematic? Because that schematic would have DRC errors because your layout bypasses C8. Or are you saying your schematic is like this except you have added a connection to ground in order to form the F antenna?
I think that's what he meant yes.
