| AN081 -- Johanson Technology balun optimized for CC2530 |
| The file accompanying AN081 contains schematics and layout files for the CC2530 realized with only one part from Johanson Technology interfacing the antenna; see AN081 for details. The Johanson Technology part realizes the balun-, filter- an impedance matching-function and is custom made to be operated with CC2530. The reference design demonstrates good techniques for CC2530 decoupling and RF layout. For optimum RF performance, the reference design should be copied accurately. This is a 2-layer reference design with a SMA antenna connector allowing operation with single ended 50 ohm antenna or easy connection to instruments for measurements. |
