nrf 51822 amplifier output

[Iris]

Hey,

As a student currently I'am working on a project for my universitiy. I want to use the nRF51822 for Bluetooth low energy communication.

In the datasheet is written, that the max. output power is 4 dBm, but in our project a higher power level is needed.

Do you have any recommentations to increase the output power for me? Maybe with external components?

All the best!

Have a look at this whitepaper: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/Nordic-nRF51_5F00_Range_5F00_Extension_5F00_with_5F00_RFaxis-RFX2411N_5F00_Rev2.0.pdf

Note that max output power you can use for BLE in Europe is 10 dBm
