1. The PICC can be any type A or B card in principle, depending on the used protocol.
Figure 23. Basic Rx Matrix Test set up
Of course, the real smart card does not allow to vary the load modulation level, which
helps to find the optimum (sensitivity). So, an extended test setup as shown in Fig 24 can
be used to control the LMA voltage level. This setup contains
• Reference PICC (ISO, EMVCo or NFC)
• Keysight Arbitrary wave generator (AWG, see [9])
• NFC Cockpit with PNEV5180B
1. Keysight AWG refer to
Figure 24. Enhanced Rx Matrix Test setup with AWG
The input parameters for the test matrix run are defined in an XML file (see 4.7.3.1). The
test can be started in the NFC Cockpit (<Start RxMatrix>). The test result is stored as
table, when the test is finished. The table can be opened with e.g. Microsoft Excel for
interpretation (<View Output>).
4.7.3 Rx Matrix XML input file
The Rx Matrix Test requires the input configuration in an XML file. A few example XML
files (for type A, B, F, 15693 and I-Code ILT) are part of the NFC Cockpit package:
c:\nxp\NxpNfcCockpit_v<VERSION>\cfg\RxMatrix\RxMatrix_PN5180\
