Abstract:
A near field communication (hereinafter, referred to as “NFC”) antenna matching network system connected to an NFC transceiver is provided. The NFC antenna matching network system includes a matching circuit connected to first and second antenna terminals and to the NFC transceiver; and a plurality of NFC antennas connected in parallel and physically with the first and second antenna terminals, wherein each of the NFC antennas comprises a source coil connected between the first antenna terminal and the second antenna terminal; and a resonance coil physically separated from the source coil.
Abstract:
At least one example embodiment provides a near field communication (NFC) antenna matching network system connected to an NFC transceiver. The NFC antenna matching network system includes a matching circuit connected to first and second antenna terminals and to the NFC transceiver. The matching circuit is configured to match impedances of the NFC antenna network matching system and the NFC transceiver. The NFC antenna matching network system includes a plurality of NFC antennas connected in parallel with the first and second antenna terminals. Each of the NFC antennas includes a source coil and a resonance coil. The source coil is connected between the first antenna terminal and the second antenna terminal. The resonance coil is physically separated from the source coil and configured to exchange signals with the source coil via inductive coupling.
Abstract:
A contactless communication device is provided which includes a field strength detecting circuit configured to detect a strength of a field induced on an antenna; a card circuit configured to demodulate a signal received via the antenna during a reception interval of a card mode; a processing unit configured to process the demodulated signal; and a reader circuit configured to transmit data via the antenna during a transmission interval of the card mode, the data provided from the processing unit, wherein an output power of the reader circuit is adjusted according to the field strength detected.
