Short range

Hi,

My questions is related to this one: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/58250/short-range.

We are also developing board and range is shorter than in smartphones.

But we are using Fanstel BT832XE with antenna https://www.tme.eu/Document/c4e6c41f0995bec1532828c99b9ac2ab/987651-6901.pdf.

Fact is that our board is very small (circa 40x40mm) and one sided with signals and other electronics so we have picked above external antenna.

I did even try to set: sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set(4);

We still have very short range.

What can we do to improve our range?

Best regards,

Artur

  • Hi,

    • Exactly what do you mean by short range? What range are you measuring?
    • What is the part number of the antenna? The link that you referred to is a product brief that refers to 4 different antennas.
    • How have you mounted the antenna? Do you leave it in "free air" or have you mounted it on a platform? Is the platform made of metal?
