53.7 PCB guidelines
A well-designed PCB is necessary to achieve good RF performance. A poor layout can lead to loss in
performance or functionality.
A qualified RF layout for the IC and its surrounding components, including matching networks, can be
downloaded from Reference layout nRF52 Series.
To ensure optimal performance, it is essential that you follow the schematics and layout references closely.
Especially in the case of the antenna matching circuitry (components between device pin ANT and the
antenna), any changes to the layout can change the behavior, resulting in degradation of RF performance or
a need to change component values. All the reference circuits are designed for use with a 50 ohm single end
antenna.
A PCB with a minimum of two layers, including a ground plane, is recommended for optimal performance.
On PCBs with more than two layers, put a keep-out area on the inner layers directly below the antenna
