PN5180 Is it possible to design a linear Antenna for pn5180

[oferrer]

Hi, 

I need to read a few tags (8 exactly) on a line. The line is aprox 18cm long. 

Is it possible to design a linear antenna 180mm long and 30mm wide in order to each Tag be at the same distance from the antenna. Just one GEAR would be necesary.

If that makes sense, what i need to do?

Thanks in advance,

Osmany

Hello Osmany,

Hope you are doing well. I would recommend you checking the PN5180 Antenna design guide.

Also, you could check section 3 of the Starting a product development with PN5180

Additionally, we have the "NFC Antenna Tool".

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Ricardo

Thanks Ricardo_Zamora.

I'm updating my PCB design in order to embed the Pn5180 ic, filter and matching circuits and a connector for the external antenna.

Meanwhile, i've made a rectangular coil with the needed dimensiones (180x30mm), i put it in front of PN5180-NFC module antenna and every Tag on the line over the rectangular coil is read. This coil works as an wireless range extender.

So i assume the new antenna will be working well.

Thanks again for your indications,

Best regards,

Osmany
