INTEGRATED ANTENNAS FOR NEAR FIELD COUPLING INTEGRATION

摘要

Described herein are techniques related to near field coupling and wireless power transfers. In an implementation, a portable device may include full metallic chassis devices. The full metallic chassis devices may include a keyboard and/or trackpad that include a plastic keycap. The plastic keycap may integrate a booster component to increase near field communications (NFC) range of a coil antenna that is integrated onto a surface plane above a circuit board of a switch that is connected to the plastic keycap. In an implementation, a ferrite material is inserted between the coil antenna and the circuit board to protect the coil antenna from Eddy currents that may be induced on a metallic chassis that lie underneath the circuit board.
