Low power beacon

Hello,

I am making a low-power beacon.

I am using NRf52832 module with external crystal. No extra device.

I use SDK 14.2.0, because it's much easier than 15.3 for making a broadcaster system.

When I compile and load the sample of "ble_app_beacon", a current of 40 mA 3.5uS flows periodically. I attached the screen shot as below.

This current flows at 200uS intervals during the transmission of radio waves.

What is this for? How can I stop the current consumption?

I set logging stopped. Disable LED. Set external xtal as " NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_SRC 1".
