Definitions
- NFC platform operates mainly in a band 13,56 MHz and it can use one of the three main communication modes: passive, active or pseudo-passive.
- NFC readers usually have form of larger devices or they are parts of the larger devices where they have sufficient space for placement of the large NFC flat antenna which has a necessary radiation power.
- NFC platform originally did not expected the reduction or miniaturization of the NFC readers (PCD); miniaturization has hitherto concerned only NFC transponders (PICC) which have various form, for example a form of the flat payment card or microSD card.
- PCD reduction or miniaturization of the NFC readers
- PICC NFC transponders
- NFC reader while its communication capability is maintained would allow to implement PCD into various mobile devices, for example a mobile phone.
- the NFC will not only have a functionality of the transponder, but it will be capable, as NFC reader itself, to contactlessly communicate with other transponders, for example a payment card.
- the antenna system mainly for NFC reader, which involves a solenoid antenna with a ferrite core and a flat spiral antenna with a loop, where the conductors in the loop on the opposite sides of the spiral run as parallel lines and thereby they produce two lateral sides of a flat spiral antenna, and where the solenoid antenna and a flat spiral antenna are placed in the same basic plane or in the mutually parallel basic planes, according to this invention, which essence lies in the fact that it involves two solenoid antennas with a ferrite core which are placed in a mutually parallel way and outside the spiral antenna, whereby the longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas are parallel with the lateral sides of the flat spiral antenna and the distance between the longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas is 0,5 to 1 ,25 times the width of the flat spiral antenna at most.
- the width of the flat spiral antenna is a transversal dimension of the antenna in the direction from one lateral side to the opposite lateral side of the antenna; it is thus the distance between the edges of the flat spiral antenna oriented in the same direction as the distance between the longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas is oriented.
- solenoid antenna denotes a cylindrical coil with multiple windings of the conductor on the core, where the length of the coil is larger than its diameter; usually the length of the coil is five times its diameter.
- the core can be from ferrite of other material with similar magnetic features.
- the solenoid antennas will have identical elements and both solenoid antennas will be connected together to the output of the excitation element. Uusually both solenoid antennas will be placed not only in parallel, but also covered by each other in the x axis; that is, the positional values of the ends on the y axis will be identical (figure 1 ).
- the solenoid antennas are placed in such a way that the continuation of their longitudinal axis delimits a zone in which the flat spiral antenna - or significant part of it - will be present. It will be preferable if the arrangement of all three antennas is symmetrical; that is, the flat spiral antenna is in the middle of the strip which is defined by prolonged longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas, whereby the groundplans of the solenoid antennas and a flat spiral antenna do not overlap.
- the mutual distance of the paralle solenoid antennas defines the width of the strip in which the flat spiral antenna is unfolded.
- the module of the NFC reader will have a printed circuit in a shape of the strip which is divided to a zone with the solenoid antennas and the zone with the spiral antenna.
- the solenoid antennas will be placed alongside the edges of the strip and flat spiral antenna will be placed on the opposite side of the strip, whereby it will reach to the edges of the strip.
- the solenoid antennas and the flat spiral antenna can be placed on a single side of the flat printed circuit; in such case they are placed in the identical basic plane. There is a free space between two solenoid antennas on the printed circuit where the electronic components can be placed, for example NFC chip. If the printed circuit creates independent NFC reader module, the solenoid antennas will be placed on the edge of the printed circuit.
- the flat spiral antenna stretches outside the zone with the solenoid antennas, whereby the edge loop of the flat spiral antenna will stretch to the edge of the printed circuit. In order to use the available surface well, the flat spiral antenna can be placed on the opposite surface of the printed circuit.
- the first surface of the printed circuit will carry solenoid antennas and all active and passive components of the circuits; on the other (opposite) side of the printed circuit a flat spiral antenna will be produced; the thickness of this antenna cannot be more than the thickness of the conductor of the printed circuit.
- the flat spiral antenna can be produced in such a way that the spiral begins in the middle of the surface or in the middle zone of the surface or it can have a form of the frame spiral, where the windings of the loop are contained in the frame formed by the four strips alongside the circumference of the surface.
- the flat spiral antenna will mostly have a quadrangular shape, preferably rectangular or square, eventually with rounded peaks.
- the flat spiral antenna can have a curved shape of the parts of the loop, but lateral sides alongside the prolonged longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas will be formed by straight lines in order to achieve the effect of mutual operation of multiple magnetic fields of the solenoid antennas and a flat spiral antenna.
- the antenna system according to this invention will usually have mutually symmetric and orthogonal arrangement of all antennas.
- the significant advantage of the proposed invention is the achievemen of a high radiating power (emitting power) at small available surface of the module.
- Two solenoid antennas are connected to the same excitation element, whereby they have an arrangement where they are capable of radiating sufficient power in order to excite the transponder (PICC).
- the flat spiral antenna is capable of receiving the signal from the transponder (PICC) with the sufficient isolation from the excitation element, whereby no significant voltage is induced on the flat spiral antenna from the excitation of the solenoid antennas.
- the mutual spatial configuration of the antennas is suitable for the shape of the antennas of the transponders (PICC); the magnetic field of two emitting antennas has such position against the receiving antenna which corresponds to the circular loops of the transponders' (PICC) antennas.
- Figure 4 depicts the position of the flat spiral antenna between two prolonged longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas, where the flat spiral antenna comes out of the middle of the rectangular surface.
- Figure 5 depicts the position of the flat spiral antenna between the prolonged longitudinal axes of the solenoid antennas, where the flat spiral antenna has a frame shape and the conductors of the loops are placed within the frame of the circumferential strip.
- the industrial applicability is obvious. According to this invention it is possible to industrially and repeatedly compose and use the antenna system with two solenoid antennas to transmit and one flat spiral antenna to receive the signal with high radiating power on the small available surface, mainly within the NFC reader module.
