https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/56143/bare-pcb-vs-pcb-assemblyHello. I plan to perform antenna matching to improve the performance of my design. I would like to know any differences when performing the match on bare pcb and pcb assembly. I have seen many people do the matching with bare board.
