Impedance matching circuit for ESP8266.

The datasheet of ESP8266 says that the impedance matching circuit should of 50 ohms. The ESP-01 uses a L-C-L filter. The value of capacitor is 5.6pF. What should be the value of incutors? How do I calculate it? The inductors are named "NC", what does that mean?

Please help me.
Thanks in advance :)

Impedance matching circuit for ESP8266 is base on the PCB stackup. if PCB is 1mm high is different from 1.6 mm PCB. Or 2 layer or 4 layer.
And it also based on distance from top layer to GND below.
Height of microstrip wire going to antenna. ( 1 Oz, 0.5 Oz)
Distance for microstrip to GND on both sides
PCB material Dielectric constant (as 4.4...)
So, my best offer is to copy existing design and after production use L C component according to recommendation from RF expert that use VNA device to check your PCB.
