External antenna of the Nrf52840

[AshleyCooper]

Hello everybody

With me is nrf52840_dongle that am using for wireless communication together with the protocol enhanced shockburst. To increase the signal range, am thinking of adding an external antenna. For this purpose, I have already made use of the nrf24L01 and my focus is to acquire the same signal. Is there any possibility of this happening? If it is possible, can you advice on which circuit I should use in order to make the antenna performance optimal in terms of power and signal characteristics?

Hi,

For this purpose, I have already made use of the nrf24L01 and my focus is to acquire the same signal.

Can you explain this part in more detail? What are you using the nRF24L01 for? 

If it is possible, can you advice on which circuit I should use in order to make the antenna performance optimal in terms of power and signal characteristics?

Are you using our nRF52840 Dongle or a custom board? Have you tried increasing the TX power?
