How do I make the NFC Antenna Design Tool work with NTP5332?

[brian8]

I need to design a PCB antenna for the NTP5332. Ideally, I'd like to copy the PCB loop antenna that's included on the OM2NTP5332 eval board. Alternatively, I could use the NXP NFC Antenna Design Tool to design an antenna and calculate the matching network.

Where can I find either the design details on the for the antenna on the OM2NTP5332 board (ideally an Altium, or other CAE file format, layout file), or the NTP5332 parameters suitable for use in the NXP NFC Antenna Design Tool?

Dear Brian,

Below is the feedback from NFC expert team:

---------------------------------

Customer can follow Antenna design guide with help of attached excel files and NXP NFC Design tool (select NTAG 5 product from drop-down menu). You can also use https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-341105 

Gerber files are in the works to be uploaded to nxp.com.

Hopefully this will suffice customer's needs.

---------------------------------

Hope above information is helpful to you!

Have a nice day!

B.R,

Weidong

Hi Weidong,

That sounds encouraging. Thank you for the quick response.

I have two followup questions:

1) Where can I find the Excel file that was mentioned?

2) Gerbers are ok. What would also be useful is the source ECAD file for those gerbers if available. Then the design could be directly imported.

Thx
