Copy antenna design from PCA10040

[s700]

Dear,

I want copy antenna design from PCA10040 for BLE. Could you please help to provide antenna's spec, such as gain, efficiency, Radiation Pattern?

Thank you.

When you copy an antenna design, it will behave different on the new design. The antenna is strongly dependent on the ground plane, so changing the size and shape of it will change the antenna parameters as well. 

The DK antenna have a gain around 0 dBi. With a decent ground plane, you can probably expect the same. But the radiation pattern will not be the same.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any characterization data has been collected using the PCA10040 with PCB antenna - does anyone have plots or other documentation that they can share?

Thanks,

Jarret

nRF 9160 DK uses Ehtertronix Antenna part Number  P822601 / You can follow the Antenna manufacturer's guidelines for the PCB design. and get it verified by the Nordic team

Thanks but PCA10040 is the nRF52 BLE board.

It shall be available in the data sheet. If not, I can get you the same
