 I have designed the NRF52832 PCB, Before I order the PCB I hope you guys can review it one time. 
 Can you please review it, Also I want to tune the antenna. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Thanks,

&lt;p&gt;The design looks mostly good, only issue I can see it that C2 needs to be grounded to only the VSS pin 31 and the center GND pad, and not to the top layer GND fill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a snippet from the reference layout showing the correct grounding for this capacitor:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Bendik&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
