Does the nrf51822 have a built in antenna?

I am developing on with the nrf51822 SoC. I have been reviewing the hardware documentation that is included in the download section. Still, I have yet to find an antenna mentioned in either the reference manual or in the schematic itself. Would really appreciate some guidance as to what is needed.

The nrf51822 does not have a built in antenna. I think this question and answer may be useful to you to get going. It points to several white papers and downloads that should get you going on the antenna.

Thank you for the quick response. I happened across this Q/A previously and the resources it provides are certainly useful. However, it doesn't address my question of how to integrate with the nrf51822 chip. If you have any further insight, I would be very appreciative.
