PCB Antenna confirmation for nRF8122 and nRF52832

[HLR]

Hi Nordic Team

We are working on BLE Modules which includes the chip-set nRF51822 and nRF52832.

We have tight form-factor and want to have longer range communication so we have chosen PCB Trace Antenna so could you please confirm whether the trace antenna used in the MDBT42Q – PATM cna be used for nRF51822 and nRF52832.?

Along with this query if could suggest PCB trace antenna details would be helpful for us.

Hi

Seeing as the MDBT42Q-PATM is not our product, we can't say anything on that antenna, as we haven't designed it. There should not be a problem using PCB trace antennas, but with antennas this small you usually have to simulate them to get the optimal angle and length on it. The smallest detailed antenna solution we can offer would be the one used in the nRF52840 Dongle.

Best of luck and kind regards,
