https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/60201/improve-increase-range-between-nrf52840dk-and-custom-peripheral-attaching-external-antenna-to-dkHello, I receive measurement data from 12 peripherals (custom PCBs) with a nRF52840DK. But I need a little more range. Quick fix I am hoping for: Attaching an external antenna with some extra gain to the nRF52840DK. This should improve TX anden-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:50:46 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/278221?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:50:46 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bd3576c5-a9ab-4d25-a7cf-4fb91218fbcdshyam9092<p>Can you share the results from your testing? Did you observe improvement in terms of range by connecting the external antenna as compared to +8db gain of the PCB antenna?&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/245136?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 17 Apr 2020 07:23:43 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:996d757a-adae-4f3a-9cf7-0fcf9b73101aKaja<p>That looks correct!&nbsp;<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Kaja</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/244931?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Apr 2020 10:33:07 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:732539ae-0645-49f0-907e-ae91bef46962muhkuhns<p>I&#39;m afraid you&#39;re right. I just found it to be kinda hard to find the right connector and a place to buy one. I hope these will do:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/81-MXHS83QE3000">https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/81-MXHS83QE3000</a>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/244870?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Apr 2020 07:35:38 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:86db99e6-729f-49e3-b93d-3cafee8d7057Kaja<p>Hi,<br /><br />non of them are a direct fit, so you need to have cable: from SWF to X connector. Ex: SWF to SMA connector.&nbsp;<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Kaja<br /><br /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
