ANFCA Series Antennas

Abracon's ANFCA series are near field communication (NFC) antennas designed to operate at 13.56 MHz. The design is constructed from a flexible very-thin layered structure to form a compact peel and stick NFC antenna.

The ANFCA series of NFC antennas is targeted for mobile devices and mobile payment machine applications but many further creative ways to use NFC are likely to become common place around the home, in the car, or at work. NFC enabled devices can transfer shared data over short distances, but can also communicate to NFC tags that can be pre-programmed via apps to control the functions of the device, for example enabling door entry or switching on Wi-Fi.

The range of NFC antennas offered by Abracon will initially start with twelve sizes ranging from 15 mm x 10 mm up to 40 mm x 60 mm, and Abracon intends to extend this range, offering a wider-selection of shapes and sizes suitable for different applications. Abracon can also offer a NFC antenna customization service, matching coil shape and size to application.

For optimum performance NFC antennas should to be matched to the application design and the NFC controller being used. Abracon offers a matching service for the ANFCA series antennas to leading brands of NFC controllers; this offers values for the discrete components to provide EMC filtering and antenna matching for optimum performance.
