Introduction The FXR.06.52.0075X.A is an NFC Ferrite antenna on 75mm twisted pair 28AWG cable with JST connector. It works with specific NFC chips which need to connect via JST ACH connector. NFC antennas can be applied in areas not traditionally available to other types of antennas. A common example is the ability to apply NFC antennas to batteries or other conductive surfaces. To enable this usage, however, a ferrite flux director layer is required. This ferrite layer acts to steer the magnetic flux away from the metal or other conductor, where it would otherwise result in loss or complete failure to communicate. Taoglas NFC antennas can therefore be customized with flux director layers to enable this flexibility in usage. The coil inductance noted below can help estimate a capacitance value for creating resonance at 13.56MHz. Typical applications - Mobile devices - Electronic wallets - Health care ID scanners - Payment readers - Office ID - Access control - Internet Of Things Customized antennas for specific applications, shape, and impedance match can also be provided for an NRE and subject to MOQ.

Antenna Application 3.1. Test setup A test fixture is used to measure the maximum interrogation distance. The FXR.06.52.0075X.A.dg antenna is connected to a NFC evaluation board and then placed on the fixed part of the fixture. Evaluation Board Test Fixture Measuring Scale Measurement Arm Passively Powered Tag Sample on thin plastic sheet RFID Reader Module Antenna The test sample is placed on a thin sheet of plastic connected to the movable part of the fixture. Then the distance is carefully adjusted until the reader can no longer read the sample, thus the maximum interrogation distance is displayed in the ruler. SPE-15-8-074/A/CM Page 4 of 10  3.2. RFID tags used for test A total of 7 RFID tags were used to measure the interrogation distances. The next picture shows type 1 and type 2 respectively. Type 1 Type 2 Type 1 tag is based on ISO/IEC 14443A standard and has 512 bytes of memory. Type 2 tag is based on ISO/IEC 14443A standard and has 192 bytes of memory. Type 4 is based on ISO / IEC 14443A 1-4 compliant and has 2K of memory. The next picture shows the Tag-it HF-I RFID tags from Texas Instruments: RI-102112, RI-I11-112, RI-I03-112, RI-I16-112, button type, and RI-I17-112. The Tag-it HF-I Plus Transponder Inlay family of Texas Instruments RFID is based on the ISO/IEC 15693 standard for contactless integrated circuit cards (vicinity cards) and ISO/IEC 18000-3 standard for item management.

This is not necessarily the optimal matching circuit that could be designed for a particular antenna. We kept the default matching of each evaluation board to minimize the number of variables in testing and keep integration as simple as possible. As with any matching network the exact circuit and values for an optimal network depend on the combination of antenna, NFC circuit, any intervening transmission line and the environment presented to the antenna. These factors are specific to the particular end product. As a starting point, to achieve the read range results presented here, use the matching network detailed in the schematic of the evaluation board for your particular NFC chip and keep the antenna free of any obstruction. Once you can demonstrate successful reads you can then optimize performance as desired. If the matching network is required, you should implement the following topology: The matching circuit should be designed to match the IC impedance 𝑍"# to 100Ω and then connect the antenna through a 100Ω differential pair.
