 Do you have a reference design for nRF52840 and nRF21540, how to connect the ANT signal (nRF52840) to TRX (nRF21540)? 
 Is it enough to only use a DC block, C1=1.0pF, as Nordic present in the reference design for nRF21540?

&lt;p&gt;A single DC blocking cap is all that is required if the transmission line is matched.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Same question goes to the ANT1 matching network to the antenna, L1, L2, C2, C3, will this matching network be sufficient?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;We still recommend that you add a separate matching network for the antenna of your choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Jonathan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
