Abstract

Near Field Communication (NFC), is an integration of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with mobile devices. NFC offers a quick and convenient method of interaction between humans and NFC enabled devices. Current research concerning NFC appears to mainly focus on development of NFC enabled applications and services. In this paper, we study the performance of NFC devices by considering metrics such as achieved data rates and received power for several distances. Knowledge of these metrics may be useful for application developers to build applications efficiently. We have developed various applications on NFC enabled devices for public transport systems. We also describe the design of 13.56 MHz antenna which was used for measurements of the received power.
