 Do you recommend a PCB antenna layout? I&amp;#39;m using the nRF52811

&lt;p&gt;In general the most common antenna used is the quarter wave monopole. It is cheap (since it&amp;#39;s just a trace on the PCB), can be shaped differently based on the form factor of the board, and gives overall good performance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For more information about these types of antennas you can have a look at &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_008.pdf?cp=17_17"&gt;this whitepaper&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is quite old, but the principles are the same today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;br /&gt;Torbjørn&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
