/ Ferrite-backed Embedded NFC Antenna Pulse Part Number W3579 The W3579 is a flexible Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna ideal for tight-space embedded products such as tablets, laptops, and payment terminal devices. It is intended for secure payment or security access applications where connect distances are constricted to keep sensitive information safe. The W3579 has a semi-flexible sintered ferrite backing designed to optimize magnetic fields, thus increasing the corresponding field strength of the antenna. The W3759 is a thin, flexible antenna that can be fed with customer-supplied spring clips, contacts, direct-solder methods or with the use of Pulse’s own W9908/W9909 C-clips. Mounting the antenna is easily accomplished using the thin but aggressive holding adhesive backing. Recommended for mounting on the inside of battery covers, or locations where the antenna will be on or in close proximity to ground planes or displays. Features - Excellent performances on metal surfaces - Thin, semi-flexible structure - Easily assembles to device covers or mechanics - Well-known antenna concept, reliable technology - RoHS compliant product Applications - Mobile devices - Payment terminals - Sharing / pairing Electrical Specifications Frequency [MHz]* Reading Distance [mm]* 13.56 40 EMVCo 28 Grid Scan (avg) Impedance [Ω]* Environmental Specifications Operating Temperature [°C] -40 to +85 50 / 80 Self Resonance Frequency [MHz]** 42 Inductance [µH]** 1.6 Mechanical Specifications Resistance [Ω]** 3.60 Color Q-Factor** 37.8 Dimensions [in/mm] Matched Q Value*** 5-30 Black 1.38 x 1.97 x 0.02 (35 x 50 x 0.30) NOTE: Electrical characteristics depend on distance from metal objects and the location of the antenna on the device.
