Pulse Electronics’ NFC antennas are custom-made to fit the mechanical specifications of a variety of mobile devices. The antennas are 35x50x0.133mm in size and operate at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. The contacts are side-by-side in the antenna area for easier implementation and to fit more compactly. The pad size is 2x2mm. The antenna’s operation is not affected by close proximity to metal or a battery. The magnetic field strength of the antenna is optimized by ferrite material type and thickness selection and the radiator pattern. The antennas are compatible with several chipsets and can be used for several mobile devices like handsets, phablets, and tablets.
Maritta Timosaari, marketing director, Pulse Electronics Wireless Division, comments: “Reliable antenna solutions are needed for user-friendly and safe contactless commerce. Pulse’s new NFC antenna is not only thinner than previous NFC antennas without losing performance, but its side-by-side configuration makes it easier for mobile device manufacturers.”
Pulse Electronics’ NFC ferrite sheet antennas are RoHS compliant and ready for volume manufacture. The antennas are backed by Pulse’s global customer support and in-house NFC testing and measurement capabilities.
