Antenna for nRF8001

[Florent Muret]

Hi support team,

I am currently working with the nRF8001 that I wanted to integrated on a my PCB.I would like to know if you have an antenna to recommend to work with the nRF8001 ? We are aiming to transmit data closely, so the max distance will be 10m, and the part has to be the tiniest as possible (for working in pairing and beacon mode).

I know that many topic were already posted about that, but I never found a clear answer.

Thanks for your help,

Florent

Hi Andreas,

Ok got it !

So what is the difference between those different mounting consideration ? For the consideration 2, it means that blue area should contains all the battery/metal/LCD component (close to the no ground area) am I right ? 

Ok fair enough !

Thanks for your help,

Florent

Hi,

 

Yes, you are right. The blue area is where the battery etc should be, not under the yellow area. There should also be a similar 'area' in the other mounting considerations, but for some reason it is not drawn. The important thing is anyway: No battery or anything under the yellow area. Plastic enclosure/housing is pretty much the only thing you should have here.

 

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Ok it make senses,the battery and all the "magnetic" stuff has to be as far as the antenna as possible to avoid disturbances. 

Thanks your all your help, much appreciated,

Florent
