Currently, I am doing research, assessing feasibility and building a prototype of an NFC based product. I am discovering that the form factor for commonly available NFC tags are not going to meet my needs. So I need to start looking at something custom.
I am not an expert in the NFC field and I am still in early stages of research but I am quite serious about getting this done. Also, I have made prototypes that do work but like I mentioned above, the commonly available tags will not meet my form factor requirements.
The basic parameters of my needs are as follows:
1) Need to be able to operate on carbon fiber and metal (ferrite backed tags work in my testing)
2) I need the tag/antenna to operate over a large field. I am currently working with antennas of 45mm x 100mm
3) Ultimately, the tags will be inlaid into vinyl sheets 10-12 mils thick
Can someone help me understand how I would go about getting tags that fit the above requirements?
