1. Introduction
The nRF24L01/nRF24L01+ from Nordic Semiconductor is a 2.45GHz one chip, ultra low power
transceiver.
Johanson Technology’s, 2450BM14A0002 LPF-Balun was specifically designed for use with the
nRF24L01/nRF24L01+ chipsets. This matched balun greatly simplifies the RF front-end by
considerably reducing component count, system variability, implementation size area, and PCB
sensitivity.

The 2450BM14A0002 is an SMD six-pin LTCC device with a small foot print of only 1.6 mm x
0.8 mm (EIA 0603).
