How to control the RF impedance?

Hi

I got some questions about the RF part of the ref schematic. 1, why the bias voltage for ANT1 anf ANT2 are not the same since they are differential lines? 2, what's the impedance from L1 to ANT1 and ANT2? Is it 15+85j? How am i gonna tell the PCB manufacturer to control the impedance?

    Which chip do you use?

    There are two matching networks that are needed, one for matching the chip to 50 Ohm, and another for matching the antenna to 50 Ohm.

    The reference design for a specific chip contains the matching network for matching the chip to 50 Ohm. In addition, a matching network (a shunt component or a pi-network) is needed for tuning of the antenna, see the Antenna tuning white paper chapter 4.
