ST25R95 Antenna Matching Circuit Review

[MOver]

Hi,

I'm testing a ST25R95 with a Molex 146236-2131 Antenna.

The Antenna Specs (per Molex) are 

La	4.1uH
Ra	7.8 Ohms
Ca	7.9pF
Fra	31.0MHz
Rp	10.4K Ohms
Q	44.2

Using the ST25R95_EMI_FILTER_CALCULATION spreadsheet I substituted La and Ra to produce the following Antenna Matching Circuit.

C01 and C02 are 200pF,

L01 and L02 are 0.56uH

C11 and C12 are 0.57pF

C2 is 3.5 pF

R01 and R02 are 330R.

I've breadboarded the circuit and it works, but the range is less than I had hoped.

Can someone check my work and tell me if I've missed anything?

Thanks

Hi,

which tag technology do you use (NFC-A, B, F and/or V)? and what is the tag antenna size? Credit card format?

What is the read range for the various technologies (A/B/F/V)? Can you compare with X-NUCLEO-NFC03A1 reference board for the same tags?
