Transceiver nRF24L01+ Module with Chip Antenna

Hi,

For my application, I plan on having two nRF24L01+ Modules communicating with each other. They will each be placed in plastic enclosures and need to communicate over no more than 3-4 meters with the potential for people to walk between the enclosures.

From any experience with the chip antenna module (SparkFun Transceiver Breakout - nRF24L01+ - WRL-00691 - SparkFun Electronics), does anybody know if these boards will be ok or will I need to look at using a different antenna arrangement from another board using the nRF24L01+.

Thanks

I got about 10m range using these modules with chip antenna, I doubt many people
have gotten the 100m range they mention.

i hardly think that the test conditions were anything but favorable... that datum is one that isn't usually reported.. Your Milage may vary.

Doc

have you tried dropping data rate to 250kbps ?
i get about 15m through walls . which is pretty decent.
i haven't tried enclosing them as yet but i should imagine they would still work
