 the lengths of the this track is important? 
 if i decrease this length, how i can set antenna parameters? 
 
 another question: what is the R1 =0 ohm resistor and N.C capacitors ? why we put it?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2025 12:46:40 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/118333/length-of-track-to-antenna" /><item><title>RE: length of track to antenna</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/520548?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2025 12:46:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d6cfaca6-12a1-4d72-b3c6-cb386eec3607</guid><dc:creator>JONATHAN LL</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can expect an update within the week.&amp;nbsp;&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><item><title>RE: length of track to antenna</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/520505?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2025 07:57:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2e2e53d3-0676-4fe2-8742-366d378dc027</guid><dc:creator>katrindqaws</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;thank you&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;would you review my file?&lt;/p&gt;

[quote user=""]if i decrease this length, how i can set antenna parameters?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;No problem reducing the length.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]another question: what is the R1 =0 ohm resistor and N.C capacitors ? why we put it?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;the N.C component is there just in case some extra tuning components are needed. It can be removed from most designes if the matching is sufficient.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some extra info here:&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/hardware-design-test-and-measuring/b/nrf5x/posts/general-pcb-design-guidelines-for-nrf52-series"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/hardware-design-test-and-measuring/b/nrf5x/posts/general-pcb-design-guidelines-for-nrf52-series&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also here is a video with one of our engineers taking about PCB design:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1m8G8MAeUQ"&gt;PCB Antenna - How To Design, Measure And Tune&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are making a design with nordic components feel free to ask for a review and we will provide feedback on the design.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Just create a new ticket and call it HW review and add the schematic and layout files, in PDF, Altium, GERBER and we will have a look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&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>
