Use nrf51 Beacon Kit PCB antenna in nrf52810 design.

Hi.

I am currently weighing up whether to use a PCB or a chip antenna. Due to my product is going to be less than 20mm x 20mm, I would prefer the chip antenna to save some space, but I was wondering: my product is very similar to the nrf51 Beacon Kit, but based in the nrf52810, may I use the PCB antenna of the Beacon as an antenna for my own board?

Hi, 

you can use the PCB antenna on your custom design, you just have to add a bit of length to it so that its possible to tune the antenna, for you specific design. 
You can also have a look at our white paper on printed quarter-wave monopole antenna. 
- But as you say a chip antenna will save you some space.
