STMicroelectronics has extended its industry-proven family of NFC readers with the addition of the ST25R300, a high-performance device that provides exceptional wakeup range and robustness for ...

I actually backed it, found that standard NFC readers don’t perform well and therefore decided to try using a standard coil as an antenna for better reading performances. Most NFC readers ...

of the NFC tag, its circuit generates an electromagnetic field. Both the reader and the tag contain inductors, which are coils of wire that serve as antennas. The reader's powered inductor ...

The most impressive part? This palm-sized device (18×40 mm) uses a self-designed 13.56 MHz antenna to draw energy from NFC readers. The temperature is then displayed on the reader, with an ...

Practically, there’s not much to the technology — you have electronic reader devices that allow you to read data from various NFC tags. That said, NFC tags are surprisingly versatile and tend ...
