4.7 RF Matching Network

Leaving footprint space for some spare matching elements during the design phase for the RF matching task is recommended. Depending on the complexity of the analog circuit, the task becomes much easier with the availability of additional components. Even if the additional components are not required in the final application, it is better to have them available instead of re-designing the PCB to reach the target performance.

For more details on matching practices, refer to the RF Matching Recommendation Application Note (DS00004061A and DS00003566A).
