 i am evaluating the use of the nRF51822-QFxx for our product and made good experience with the nRF51-DK. Now, i would like to layout the custom pcb and i am not sure how to design the antenna.

CAD software are generally better importing than exporting formats. It&amp;#39;s probably faster just to recreate the antenna&amp;nbsp;using the dimensions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Is it possible to share exported files from Altium Designer so that are importable by Eagle?&amp;nbsp;Perhaps you can&amp;nbsp;even link the exported file of the PCA100031?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For the antenna dimensions, see this file:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/support-attachments/beef5d1b77644c448dabff31668f3a47-136ef2c7011541f39ef0fe7df79f663b/nRF24LU1-USB-Dongle-Antenna-dimensions.pdf"&gt;devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF24LU1-USB-Dongle-Antenna-dimensions.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d use a pi-network just in case, placed between L3 and the antenna.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pin 35 and 26 is fine like this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ketil&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
