Technology considerations for dual interface cards – “Check List”
• 1.) Reliable interconnection between antenna & module
(real interconnection preferred over just contact)
• 2.) Reliability of the antenna technology itself
(antenna material & bridging technology)
• 3.) Consistent RF-performance throughout the specified read range
(form “0” to “X inch”)
• 4.) Durability of the card body itself
(hot-laminated monolithic structure desirable )
• 5.) Economical manufacturing process
(cost of antenna, module, connecting material, equipment)
• 6.) Supply chain aspects
(security; complexity; turnaround times)
