Master Thesis: Combining NFC in DASH7 using the same Antenna

In this paper the combination of NFC with DASH7 is examined. The combination of the antenna provides an easy integration of DASH7 into todays smartphones without the use of an extra antenna, which is a space and money saving solution. The other way around, the integration of NFC into a DASH7 tag is also explored. The combined antenna is calculated, measured and tested. The measurements give an indication of the opportunities which can be achieved when the two technologies are merged.

Bachelor thesis: Integration of a DASH7 antenna with a NFC-antenna

To integrate DASH7 and NFC in mobile devices, the size off the module and antenna is important. This paper explains that it is possible to use a single antenna for both technologies, with as result a reduction in size. With the right switching, the two antennas can be used constantly together. When a NFC-antenna is used with 2 antennas, it is even possible to read NFC at the same time as receiving DASH7-signals.
