To prevent signal reflection from antenna? Wouldn't you rather need an isolator?

isolator
OK
How to design it with lumped LC networks?

Hi there,
Yes, that is possible, but not using LC SMD components. You will need a ferrite disk and you will have to wind 3 coils around it at 120 degree angle (see the article there is a nice picture of it...)
Depending on your application and frequency, you might better get one from a component manufacturer, I happened to use miniature isolators from TDK (but this is just one example), you can find different models on their website: https://www.tdk.co.jp/tefe02/rf_network.htm#aname5
You can request some samples through one on their sales offices, but usually this doesn�t go very fast :-(
Good luck!

You can refer to the Chapter 12 of the "Lumped element for RF and Microwaves circuit" by Inder Bahl.(Page No364-366). calculation of L & C value is giventher.
