 I imagine this is a pretty common and basic question but I couldn&amp;#39;t find anything online. 
 Since the nRF52xxx chips are single-band 2.4GHz (and possibly sub-GHz also), is it advisable to use a Dual-Band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) WiFi Antenna as the</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 11 Jan 2018 18:24:44 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/29346/nrf52xxx-safe-to-use-dual-band-wifi-antenna" /><item><title>RE: nRF52xxx Safe to use Dual-Band WiFi Antenna?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/116746?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jan 2018 18:24:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:552f3ed8-efca-4526-81a0-1437274db24a</guid><dc:creator>Dave_couling</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Couldn&amp;#39;t you potentially run into 2nd harmonic issues during certification?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF52xxx Safe to use Dual-Band WiFi Antenna?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/116747?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jan 2018 15:34:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:96b3f037-b5e1-4188-8f2d-421a1d8f7701</guid><dc:creator>seth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Great. The reason I want to use the antenna is simply because of it&amp;#39;s form factor. A lot of antennas are coming out these days that are not simply single-band but are dual-band and sometimes have superior qualities. So as long as the unused band doesn&amp;#39;t cause too much interference, then I think we will go ahead and use it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I checked with our RF expert. It should be ok, the matching network should be able to surpress 2nd harmonic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there any particular reason why you want to use the dual band antenna ? Do you plan to combine it with a wifi module ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
