PCB reference designs for nRF51 dk

[RSK]

Are there any reference designs available for nRF51 Development kit using a chip antenna and not the PCB antenna ?

Not officaly from Noridc.

But you can look here: www.nordicsemi.com/.../3rd-Party-Bluetooth-Smart-Modules at 3rd party nRF51 modules some use chip antenna's.

@RSK: We don't have any reference design that uses chip antenna. But any 2.4GHz antenna with 50 Ohm impedance should work. A PI network for tuning should be added. Or you can use the 3rd party module as suggested by michaeld.
