2.4GHz ceramic chip antennas. Very small antennas that work nicely with the Nordic ICs. Don't expect these little guys to perform as well as their ~2" rubber duck counter parts, but then again, these will squeeze onto* any* PCB layout.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.

Hey guys, I need antenna for RFW69W and I decide to use this type because is suitable for my design due to its amazing size. Can this chip antenna work with RFW69W Transceiver? I will really appreciate your response. Thank you.
Can this be used with a Nordic nRF1822? and if so is there any reference designs for how to set it up. the one i have uses a much larger antenna build in the PCB.
Does it come with the quarter?
That will cost an additional $0.25
in that case, I'll buy 3.
Does this work with Wi-Fi? I assume so with the 2.4GHz band, but can someone tell me?
Would be stellar if these were in the Sparkfun Eagle library. Just a suggestion.
From what I can tell, this is the same chip antenna as used in SparkFun's Transceiver nRF24L01+ Module with Chip Antenna board. This board's Eagle files point to the "ANTENNA-CHIP5" component under the SparkFun-RF library.
I've used this CHIP5 footprint and antenna in my designs, and it's worked for me!
