 For my research project on novel antennas I need a demonstration prototype, and the nRF51822 Beacon Kit would be ideal for me (due to its small size and battery power) if I could some how connect my antenna to it.

Also remove L1 and C4 so that all energy from the radio enters your antenna instead of going into the pCB antenna.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tag-connect.com/TC2030-MCP-NL"&gt;The header on the beacon kit is a TC2030.&lt;/a&gt; You can use the programming header on the nRF51-DK to program the beacon, but either have to get a 10-pin to 6-pin TC2030 adapter or solder on the pins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
