UM2042 Antenna matching
24
With the new assembled values, the matching impedance looks as in Figure 14, with a
value close to 11 + j6 Ω.
Figure 14. NFC Forum matching with an AAT setting of 11
The HW based AAT algorithm will typically adjust to an AAT value of 11. Due to the higher
Q-Factor the voltage on the antenna is also increasing. To put the receiver in an optimum
signal level range, the capacitors C401 and C412 can be increased to 100 pF.
