For the CC330x family of devices, it is required to route out RF_BG (pin 2) for any radio frequency (RF) functionality. A band pass filter (BPF) is required along this path before reaching any radiative or conductive component. For the recommended BPF, see Table 2-1. It is also recommended to implement an impedance matching network (such as a 'PI' or 'L' network) for optimal RF performance. Table 2-2 is an example of schematic design for the RF path. Any deviation from these recommendations can cause performance to diverge from the data sheet specifications.
If implementing a RF switch (for utilizing antenna diversity), ensure that the RF_BG (pin 2) signal is routed through the band pass filter before the switch. The output of the band pass filter should be routed to the common port of the switch. ANT_SEL (pin 15) may be routed and used as the switching signal.
