Micro RWD MF (Mifare) Antenna Specification
The MicroRWD MF (Mifare) module has been designed to interface to a simple high Q
antenna coil of around 1uH inductance together with some capacitor and resistor
components. The antenna coil and passive components form the “tuned” RLC (ResistorInductor-Capacitor) circuit, which is designed to resonate at the 13.56 MHz carrier
frequency and have a Q factor of 35-40. For the 125 kHz family of MicroRWD
modules, the low Q antenna (700uH) has a relatively wide tolerance of inductance so
the capacitor components are fixed and mounted on the RWD module itself – pins AN1
and AN2 connect to an external antenna coil directly. For the 13.56 MHz MicroRWD
modules, the antenna Q is higher and the inductance tolerance is narrow. For this reason
the capacitor components are external to the module to allow fine-tuning and adjustment
of the LC circuit as shown below. The external resistors are used to limit the antenna
current and correct the antenna Q to 35-40 range.

Directly connected antenna arrangement
For maximum range and performance the following factors should be considered:
1) Maximum range and coupling between transponder and RWD is based on the ratio
of their antenna diameters. Very approximately the RWD antenna loop diameter
should be 2-3 times the diameter of the transponder coil. The basic method of
communication is via magnetic flux linkage (like an air-cored transformer) so the
more lines of flux that intersect the transponder coil, the better the overall
performance. For ISO card transponders there is little benefit in using an RWD
antenna larger than 10cm diameter. Circular antenna coils generally give a more
uniform flux distribution

2) The Micro RWD is designed to generate a 13.56 MHz carrier frequency in short
bursts of energy with a peak-to-peak voltage of up to 60 volts. This RF field is only
turned-on whenever there is card communication and for the remainder of time the
RF field is off. This dramatically reduces the average current consumption to around
20ma with short bursts of up to 200ma.
3) Generally for 65mm diameter wound antenna or similar sized PCB antenna the
range is around 5 cm, larger antenna (10 – 15cm diameter) can achieve up to 10cm
range under ideal conditions. Lower burst current can be achieved by adjusting the
series resistors in the antenna loop circuit (ensuring Q value is around 35-40).
4) Sample antenna supplied are for evaluation only. The characteristics of an antenna
for EMC approval will vary according to shape of coil, type of wire, style of
winding, bobbin material, spacing between windings or PCB track design and PCB
material etc.
5) The antenna coil (PCB or wire wound) should be positioned as close to the capacitor
components as possible and the coil-capacitor (LC) arrangement should be no more
than 3cm from the MicroRWD module for optimum performance. For longer
distances a screened twisted-pair antenna cable can be used with an impedance
matching transformer, this technique is not described here.
6) The position and environment of the antenna in the final applications should be
taken into account and a trimming capacitor can be used to adjust the capacitance to
fine tune the LC arrangement back to 13.56 MHz resonance. An oscilloscope should
be connected ACROSS the antenna coil connections. With NO transponder card in
the field a pulsed 13.56 MHz sine wave will be seen with a peak-to-peak voltage of
up to 60 volts. The trimming capacitor should be adjusted to achieve the highest
amplitude of sine wave. The antenna resistance should then be checked to ensure the
Quality factor is correct. The capacitor and coil inductance values have been
carefully chosen for optimum performance so any custom antenna should be
designed to be as close to this arrangement as possible.

7) For optimum performance the antenna Q (Quality factor) should not exceed 40.
Practically the Quality factor effects the shape of the waveform envelope and if too
low or too high then read/write performance (range) will be poor or the system will
not work at all.
The formula for calculating Q = 2*pi*fL / Rant = 102 / Rant
where f = Resonant frequency, 13.56 MHz, L = Antenna inductance, 1.2 uH
Rant = Overall antenna resistance = Rdriver + Rext + (Rcu + Rrf)
Rdriver = Resistance of FET driver (from IC spec)
Rcu = Resistance of Copper (coil)
Rrf = RF resistive component (eddy current losses etc)
For Q = 35, Rant = 102 / Q = 102 / 35 = 3 R
By measurement (and IC spec) Rdriver + (Rcu + Rrf) = approx 2R
Therefore Rext = 1R
8) The Micro RWD has been designed to work at optimum performance with a
Quality factor of 35-40 using 1uH inductor and Rant < 3 R.
For practical purposes Rext will be
