We have a custom board with nrf51822 and we use chip antenna from ST BAL-NRF01D3, now the distance it support is very very short (less than 20 cm). So, please tell me, changing the transmission power level will increase the distance it support or</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:24:11 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/791/how-to-set-the-transmission-power-level" /><item><title>RE: how to set the transmission power level?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/3972?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:24:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:601d54d1-2f23-44d9-aa27-2b5dc2a44d29</guid><dc:creator>H&amp;#229;kon Alseth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;20 cm of range is very short. Normal range in 0 dBm is usually 10-15 meters in an office environment.
Can you post your gerber files, so I can have a look at your layout?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do not want to disclose your design to everyone, I would recommend that you create a case in the technical support page (&amp;quot;My Page&amp;quot; ) on our main site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To answer your original question:
If you&amp;#39;re using the S110 API, its the function call  &amp;quot;sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set()&amp;quot; (defined in ble_gap.h).
If not, then it&amp;#39;s NRF_RADIO-&amp;gt;TXPOWER = (int8_t) x;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards
Håkon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
