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

Thanks but PCA10040 is the nRF52 BLE board.

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

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

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.
